If you played a previous Glintseeker Island Playtest:

If you already received a code or had access in a previous playtest, you don’t need a new one - the Playtest version in your library will update automatically.

Old save files won’t work properly with the new version, so please delete your previous saves before starting. (The new content is best experienced from a fresh save anyway!)

See you in the Mines! ⛏️
