We’re launching the next public playtest for DESPA, and we’re inviting players to help us stress-test the game and gather essential gameplay data.

Playtest Schedule

  • December 5

  • 18:00–21:00 UTC

The servers will only be open during this 3-hour window, so your participation is extremely valuable: the more players we have at the same time, the more accurate our data will be.

What This Playtest Is For

During this session, we aim to measure:

  • Server load & stability under peak concurrency

  • Matchmaking performance

  • Average match duration & pacing

  • Spawn system behavior

  • Weapon balance & time-to-kill

  • Movement flow and readability

  • Controller vs. mouse input data

  • Overall gameplay feedback

Your input in Discord during the test will help us tune combat, improve performance, and prepare the next build.

How to Join

  • Click Request Access on the DESPA Steam page.

  • You’ll receive a notification when access is granted.

Join the arena during the test window and share your feedback afterward.
