Getting into the Closed Beta used to mean asking and waiting. Not any more. Join the lab on Discord, press the green button in #get-beta-access, and your code appears right there, with a copy in your DMs if they're open.
It costs nothing, and we will never ask for a card or a password. Each Discord account gets one code, good on 2 PCs for 30 days. The lab gives out a limited number each day, so if today's are gone, come back tomorrow.
Then download the launcher, type your code and press OPEN THE DOORS. Igor is waiting. He's nervous.
