Gigantic was released in 2017 and has now been resurrected by Gearbox Interactive, with a full release coming on April 9. The game is a fast-paced mash-up of hero shooter and MOBA, with slick movement and colorful visuals. It’s a game that got swept up in the wake of Overwatch when it first released, but the beta shows the game still has life in it.

So, how exactly do you get into that beta?

How to play the Gigantic: Rampage Edition closed beta playtest

Playing the Gigantic: Rampage Edition beta is as simple as asking. People who want to play will need to request access to the beta on the game’s Steam page.

After requesting access, it becomes a waiting game to see if you get into the beta. Those who are accepted will be notified via the email attached to their Steam account. After that, all that’s left to do is to download the game in the Steam client and start it up.

When does the Gigantic: Rampage Edition beta end?

If you’re trying to play this beta, you’ll need to move fast: the closed beta ends on Feb. 24 at 12am CT. The team working on Gigantic has already announced they’ve sent out multiple rounds of invites to the beta, so chances are decent you can still get in.

If the beta ends without you getting that magic email, don’t worry; there will be plenty more beta opportunities in the next few months, with the full release scheduled for April 9.
