How to join
Anyone who owns BattleBit Remastered can join by switching the game version to the “beta – Operation Overhaul test” branch on Steam. That will download the playtest build and launch the game normally. After the test ends players must switch back and redownload the live version to play on public servers. The developer will publish a guide on switching branches on the day of the test and notes that the playtest build will be available to download right when the test begins, so slow connections should start their download immediately.
The playtest packages a large set of changes including time to kill tweaks, graphic reworks, UI updates, quality of life improvements, and new sounds. The developer thanks players for sticking with the project and adds quote “something something soon™” as a closing aside before the test.
Passionate testers should be prepared for rough edges. The goal is to gather feedback and bug reports rather than to lock down progression or stats.
