AnkleBreaker Playtest Program
One account.
Every game.
Play AnkleBreaker games before launch. One profile, every playtest — with free access, a private Discord, and a real say in what ships.

02Two ways in
Open doors & inner circle.
The best feedback we ever got came from players who’d already lost a thousand matches. So we built two ways in — an open Playtest for everyone who wants to kick the tires, and a private Insider Program for the dedicated few who shape mechanics months before launch.
01Open Playtest
Playtest
Anyone in the community.
Scheduled stress-test windows on upcoming builds. You play, you fill a short survey, you go back to your life.
- Early hands-on with new patches
- Direct survey channel to the dev team
- In-game “Playtester” badge

About the program
AnkleBreaker playtests run on a simple deal — you fill out one profile, sign one NDA, and carry your account across every game we ship. When you’re accepted, you get a Steam key or Steam Playtest access plus an invite to the game’s private playtest Discord. Every plan has a brief, a deadline, and a limited number of slots.
Built by AnkleBreaker Studio. Invite-only, and open to apply for anyone with a Steam account, a Discord account, and a genuine interest in testing games before they ship.
