It’s finally here! As of RIGHT NOW, you can jump in and play the co-op beta for Satellite Reign Uplink. We’ll cut right to the chase—here’s how you can get it on Steam:
[olist]

Go to your Steam Library and right-mouse-click on Satellite Reign in your games list.

Select “Properties”

Go to the “Betas” tab

From the “Select the beta you would like to opt into” pull down select “coop_beta” (you may need to close and re-open steam for this option to appear)

Click “Close”

Wait for the Satellite Reign to download and update.

We’ll also be providing the beta on Humble, so any backers who’d prefer not to play via Steam will be able to download the beta build there. It will be available in the next few hours.

Satellite Reign Uplink is also cross-platform, so you can play with Mac, Windows and Linux users.

Please keep in mind, this is very much a beta. All multiplayer features are in place, but there are still bugs to squash. If you’re connected to a game and you see your agents (or anyone else in the world) behaving strangely, please let us know.

We’ve thrown together a short FAQ as well, so have a look at that if you have any questions about the beta. It also contains instructions on submitting bug reports.

We’ll update soon when Humble Builds are live, or we have anything else useful to say!

Have fun out there!
