You need to have a purchased copy of Desolate in your Steam library.
Go to your Steam library in your profile, find Desolate, right-click on it, and click "Properties.
Select the "Beta Tests" tab.
Select Beta test Development
Enter password: 4ewilCSA8kllq6d5u899
Close the "Properties" window and wait until the game is updated
Turn on the game after updating. Play the Prologue Desolate or start the walkthrough in the open world.
How to return from beta mode to classic build:
Go to your Steam library in your profile, find Desolate, right-click on it and click "Properties".
Select the "Beta Tests" tab.
