Playtesting
We aim to craft a different reality, and something never seen before.
If you’re up for the fight, Ruckus is looking for eager and dedicated players to get a firsthand look at the game with early playtesting to provide feedback. You, the player, are our hero (literally and figuratively)! Come Smash, Grab, and Grow with us!
Sign Up Info
Who is eligible to join?
All players over the age of 18 are welcome to join regardless of skill level or experience. Content creators, influencers, and live streamers are welcome to apply and will be referred to our Community team to be considered for future content creation opportunities as well.
What should I expect after sign up?
We’ll reach out to you through email if you fit our testing criteria!
Do I need to sign up for every playtest?
No need to sign up twice. We’re running multiple playtests as development rolls on, and we’ll keep adding new folks along the way. If you don’t get an invite right away, don’t worry — you’re still in our Neighborhood Yellow Book and will be considered for future playtests. Stay tuned!
What are the minimum requirements to playtest?
Players must be over the age of 18 and have an active Steam and Discord account. Both accounts must be over 30 days old, and Steam accounts must have previously played game activity listed, regardless of genre or length of time played. Our playtests are remote, and additional requirements include a stable internet connection, a gamepad controller, a webcam, and a microphone. Play testers are responsible for expenses related to playtesting, including internet connection, software, and hardware requirements.
PC Requirements
- Nvidia RTX 2070 Super/Radeon RX 5700XT or better
- 8 GB video memory or more
- Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or better

I don’t play games that often, can I still sign up?
Absolutely! If you have an established history of playing games on your Steam account, regardless of time spent in-game, you are considered for playtesting.
Playtest Questions
Is there compensation for participating?
There is no monetary compensation for playtesting.
My Steam key says it has already been redeemed, what do I do?
Email us at playtest@ruckus-games.com.
What if I don’t want to participate in the playtest anymore?
Email playtest@ruckus-games.com to be removed from future Playtest opportunities.
Can I stream or create content around the playtests?
Not this time, Neighbor. All current playtests are under NDA, so no streaming or sharing just yet. That said, if you’re a content creator, influencer, or streamer, we’d love to have you play! You’ll still be part of the test, and we’ll loop you in with our Community Team for future content opportunities once the time is right.
Can I tell others I am participating in the playtest?
You’re welcome to say you’re part of the playtest, we’re glad you’re here! But please keep the details hush-hush. That means no screenshots, no videos, no gameplay or story spoilers. If it’s not already public on our website, it’s not ready to be shared. Got questions? Our Playtest Team is just a message away!
Will my progress carry over to the retail release?
No.
Can I invite a friend to join the fun?
Absolutely, Neighbor! If you head to your First Look Profile, you can refer a friend there.
