Console Closed Alpha is the exciting next stage for Scavengers, where we welcome console players to our community of Explorers across all three platforms (PC, Xbox, and PlayStation).

Closed Alpha is the opportunity for players to experience an early version of Scavengers on console across PlayStation and Xbox. We’re looking for players to help test and define the game’s ongoing development - your participation and feedback are key!

Closed Alpha is a technical preview of Scavengers on console, it isn’t a final, polished version.

It’s still a work in progress and we will be updating, refining and improving on it over time to reach the same level of quality as the PC experience. As a result, you can expect differences to Scavengers on PC, as well as additional bugs, varied performance, and balance issues. However, by participating, you get to be some of the earliest Console Explorers to venture into the frozen wasteland of Scavengers, and join the development team in this crucial step in the game’s development.

How can I sign up for Console Closed Alpha?

All you have to do is click on the “Register for the Console Alpha” button at the top of this website and fill out the submission form. Your request to be a part of the program will then be processed.

When will I receive my key for the Console Closed Alpha?

We send out our Console Closed Alpha keys in batches, usually on a weekly basis. We have a limited set of keys, so it’s first come, first served. Register early so that you don’t miss out on this opportunity!

What’s expected from me in the Closed Alpha test?

We need you to play Scavengers on your console (Xbox and PlayStation)! We’ll also be asking for your feedback, and to report any bugs you may encounter. Closed Alpha is a key time for us to test and improve on the Scavengers console experience, so we’re looking for players who want to help us test and develop the game!

How long is the Closed Alpha “turned on” for?

There are no time restrictions on the Closed Alpha. Once you redeem your Closed Alpha key, you can play Scavengers at any time.

How long will the game stay in Alpha?

Until it’s ready. We will continue to test, polish and improve the experience based on your feedback until we’re happy to share the Scavengers console experience with a wider audience.
