The first major update for R.E.P.O. is almost here, bringing tons of new content including a brand new level, matchmaking, server lists, a region picker, lobby passwords, new items, and more. If you’re eager to try it out, the developers have now made the update available in open beta.
Here is how you can access the new R.E.P.O. update, test out the new features, and provide valuable feedback to the developers ahead of its official release.
Switch to the R.E.P.O. Beta Branch
To play the latest update in open beta, you’ll need to switch to the beta branch of R.E.P.O. on Steam. Here are the steps:
This will initiate an update download for R.E.P.O. on Steam, which is around162 MBon my end. Once that’s done, you can launch R.E.P.O. and get access to the Beta branch and all the new content that comes with it.
R.E.P.O. Beta New Content
The beta with the first major content update (v0.1.2.21) comes with the following new content:
You can provide feedback directly to the developers through the officialDiscord. You can find the complete changelogs, feedback and bugs channels there as well.
There still isn’t a release date for the official launch of this update, but I expect the update to drop sometime after the open beta is active. Currently, the developers are focusing on polishing the content planned for the update, and this beta is the best way to provide them with the useful feedback they need.
