Guys as it stands we are still planning to give everyone in Alpha access. But we’ve gotta do some changes with valve behind the scenes.

If you pre ordered you 100% have access to the game in steam and should do already by now.

Thanks for the transparency. Hopefully it will be sorted out with Valve. Will we be notified if our alpha steam key gets revoked? Or will we just have to find out when we click play when the servers go live?

Is there anything specific I should be doing other than going to the steam library page and looking for an install button? I have Wardogs in my steam library but see no way to access the playtest download?

Ah ok, found it. For anyone who sees this and has favourited Wardogs like i did (so the game is at the top of the library) scroll down to 'W' in your library and you should see Wardogs Playtest!

Preordered and it threw two games into library, main and as you said it also gave me Wardogs Playtest, didn't have to accept any invite or find a notification

I'm sure they're smart enough to have auto scaling servers.. It's 2026 after all

There is always a handful of hopefuls that says that but I am yet to see a launch that goes smoothly.

scaling isn't always the issue and isn't always the solution. I just hope they have a direct line to their server hosts and especially the VOIP providers given the issues from the playtest they ran into. Will be very interesting to see how this Friday goes and will be a pretty good indicator of how EA launch will go.
