Join the ultimate server challenge. This Technical Test will run from August 23, 10 a.m. PT until August 24, 10 a.m. PT on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The most-watched, sometimes controversial, but always talked-about survival gameshow awaits. Help influence the future of King of Meat, earn special rewards, and get famous or die trying alongside your friends.

Everyone can join for an early look at King of Meat. We'll review participant feedback on as many features and systems as possible, including Create Mode and dungeon gameplay. Eager to race down the Road to Stardom? Pre-order now and get 5 days early access to King of Meat on October 2. Want to learn more about the game? Check out our release date announcement for an overview of what to expect when King of Meat launches on October 7.

Here's everything you need to know about Technical Test rewards, feedback, and more.

Unleash Your Ridiculous

King of Meat is a co-op party platformer, where up to 4 players must overcome nightmarish dungeons filled with puzzles to solve, challenges to traverse, and ridiculous monsters to fight. Progress through official and community built dungeons to unlock new abilities and gear on your way to become the ultimate Contender. You’ll have the tools to build dungeons and try out fellow Contenders, helping shape the experience for those that follow. Remember, if you can play it in-game, you can build it too!

King of Meat is better together. So why not embody the Loregokish spirit and subject your closest friends to your painstakingly crafted dungeons? Grab your squad or head to our official Discord channel to makes some friends (or frenemies).

Beta Rewards Top

Hang out with your favorite Creator for 30 minutes of cumulative watch time during the Technical Test to claim your Beta Rewards Top. This reward will carry over into the full release.

If you haven’t done so already, make sure your Twitch account is linked to your Steam, Xbox, or PSN account (depending on which platform you play on). Twitch Drops can only be claimed once per account.

Gargazel Bear Outfit

Perfect for migration, if you're into that kind of thing. Plush footwear made of fur! Oh...

Get the Gargazel Bear skin when you link your Amazon Games iD to your Steam, PlayStation Network, or Xbox account.

If you’ve already linked accounts in the past, you’ll automatically receive your rewards. This reward will carry over into the full release.
