How to download

Anyone who owns BattleBit Remastered will be able to play in the playtest by switching the game’s version to the “beta - Operation Overhaul test” version via Steam. This will download and update the game to the Overhaul version so it launches normally through Steam. Once the test is concluded, you will need to switch back to and redownload the regular version of the game to play on the live version servers. We will provide a guide on how to switch to and from Overhaul on the day of the first test. The playtest build will be available to download right when the test begins, so if you have slow internet, be sure you start your download right away.

What’s next?

We will have more information available the day of the test. Normally this is the part where we say “something something soon™”, but this time all we want to say is thank you for sticking with us. We know it’s been a long time coming, and we’ll see you November 29th.
