Second Wave of Beta Testing: Applications Open + Format Explained We know what you expect when you hear "open beta test": a button on Steam, one click, and you're in the game.

At this point, we could throw the doors wide open and let everyone in—but the game isn't yet in a state we're ready to showcase without caveats. If the first impression isn't right, there won't be a second chance. That's why we're expanding the tester pool car
