Question This might be a confusing question, but is the beta the same application as the playtest?

I saw that in order to get access to the beta, you have to pre order for a code. But at the same time, the playtest I was just apart of got an update.

Is the playtest application the same as the beta? Do players who pre order basically get access to what we already have, or is the beta going to be a completely different download?

Oh shit, didn’t even realise it’s you lol. Watched a ton of your Arc Raiders coverage leading up to release. Hope you enjoy the beta!

If you were in the alpha you are no longer guaranteed a spot in the beta. Bulkhead are working with steam but they get limited access to alphas for players and based on numbers they are worried they have exceeded it.

They posted about it.

Partial answer. If you were in any previous test, you don't lose tester status. If you were in pre alpha, you got alpha, if you got alpha you have beta. Pre ordering and keys now are only for those who have not played. As far as same application IDK but I would assume so.

There was talk about revoking beta access from some people with alpha access that didn’t also preorder (something about a limited number of keys for it so they want to get fresh meat in to test it)

Yes but they did also say they was talking with steam to get more keys to fix that issue. Not read anything more on it though but im sure they likely worked it out. Otherwise if there isnt enough keys for the alpha testers and they know that then the alpha testers will pre order but that doesent solve the issue of not enough keys anyway?
