During the Game Awards 2024 event, Wargaming Group Limited unveiled its Steel Hunters beta testing exclusively for PC players that has already gone live. For those who don’t know, it combines the elements of a mech hero shooter with battle royale and extraction mechanics.

So if you want to get your hands on early on the game, here’s how to download and play Steel Hunters Beta on your PC.

Steel Hunters Beta PC: How To Join

Downloading the Steel Hunters Beta requires you to register for it first. To get started, head to the game’s official website and create a new account by entering your email address and choosing a strong password for you.

Once you’ve successfully created a new account, you’ll see the ‘Join the PC beta’ button. Simply click on it and you’ll eventually get the option to request access from the Steel Hunters developers.

At this point, it’s worth noting that you won’t get the access right away, as the game developers may review your profile and send you the beta code. If you’re selected, you’ll receive the code in your registered email ID along with instructions to download Steel Hunters PC beta.

Steel Hunters system requirements

Before you dive into the battle, keep in mind that Steel Hunters is a pretty graphic-intensive game which means a low to mid range PC build might struggle to run it.
