The Punch Arena public playtest is officially open, and anyone can jump in.

Punch Arena is a multiplayer arena brawler built around one simple idea taken way too far: the extending punch. Dodge, time your hits, grab upgrades between rounds, and fight across arenas that each bend the rules in their own way. Think chess meets boxing, with a lot more chaos.

How to join:

  • Click "Request Access" on the playtest right here on the store page

  • Once you are in, install it from your library

  • Bring a friend and you are ready to brawl

Heads up: we are a small two-person team running an early playtest, so server capacity is limited. If matchmaking looks busy, give it a minute and try again. We will be watching and scaling things up as we go.

This is an early build, so you will run into rough edges. That is the whole point. Every match you play and every piece of feedback you leave helps us shape the game before our Steam Next Fest appearance later this year.

Hop in, throw some punches, and let us know what you think on Discord or in the community hub.

See you in the arena.
