When was the ROB RUN playtest?
The public playtest ran from October 30 to November 3, 2026.The playtest took place right before the Early Access launch. Its purpose was to load-test the servers and fix critical bugs before release.
It was followed by the first-changes patch, with which the game launched on November 4. Playtest progress was not carried into Early Access: everyone started from scratch.
You can no longer join that playtest — it is over. There is no separate test version now: everyone plays the same Early Access build, available for free on Steam.
If you are looking for where to “sign up for the test”, there is nothing to sign up for. Install the game from Steam, complete the intro quests and choose a server in your region: new servers open daily.
