Many of our previews require you to activate a Preview Branch on Steam. This is a separate build from the LIVE version of the product.
To access a Preview Branch:
- Own and install the appropriate game title on Steam
- Right-click on the game in Steam and select Properties
- In the pop-up window that appears, select the BETAS tab from the left
- If the specific preview you were invited to has a password, enter that password into the Beta Access Code field and click Check Code
- Note that our Public Update Previews do NOT require a password
- From the drop-down select the name of the Preview Branch
- An update will begin downloading
- Once the update is complete, launch the game title
If additional steps are required to access the in-game content for the preview, where to find those directions will have been provided to you in your invitation email.
To leave a preview and return to the LIVE game:
- Locate the title in your Steam Library
- Right-click on the game and select Properties
- In the pop-up window that appears, select the BETAS tab from the left
- Change the drop-down to "none"
Your game will perform an update, and you will then be back in the LIVE version of the title.
If your game does not update after switching back, please try restarting Steam.
