Schedule answer
September 3 at 19:00 UTC to September 6 at 08:00 UTC.
This is the published September 2026 beta window. The September 5 Open Beta announcement kept Sunday 08:00 UTC as the end. As of September 10, that window has passed and no later extension appears in the official Steam updates.
Opening access on September 5 did not announce extra time. These are published boundaries, not measured server start or shutdown times.

August history
August start: revised to 17:30 UTC on August 21.
The official schedule image initially gave 17:00 UTC. At 17:20 UTC, a developer-marked Steam reply described a small delay and set a 17:30 UTC go-live target. That later statement replaces the original start for this event.
- 10:30 PDT on August 21.
- 13:30 EDT on August 21.
- 18:30 BST on August 21.
- 02:30 JST / 03:30 AEST on August 22.
August history
August end: 02:00 UTC on August 24.
The marketing range says August 21–23, while the precise UTC schedule ends at 02:00 on Monday, August 24. Those descriptions use different time conventions and are not a contradiction.
- 19:00 PDT on August 23.
- 22:00 EDT on August 23.
- 03:00 BST on August 24.
- 11:00 JST / 12:00 AEST on August 24.
August history
Was the August Beta extended?
As of the August 27 historical check, no end-time extension had been announced. The 30-minute start delay did not say the end would move; the official recap subsequently confirmed that weekend’s beta was over. This does not establish the exact second servers stopped accepting players.
Current status
No later public playtest is announced as of September 10.
The September 2 firing-range backend-test notice and the September 3–6 beta are now historical. The main game’s September 10 Early Access announcement is a separate release, not an extension or a new Playtest window.
