Ashes of Creation Opens a Public PTR on Steam for Alpha Two Testers
A separate test client now sits alongside the main game in eligible players' libraries, lifting the NDA and inviting open sharing of early builds.
Ashes of Creation has launched a Private Test Realm (PTR) as a standalone Steam library entry. Any player who already has the base game in their library should find "Ashes of Creation PTR" appearing there automatically — no separate purchase or key required.
What changed
- A dedicated PTR app is now live on Steam alongside the main Ashes of Creation client
- Both clients install independently, so additional disk space is required before downloading
- The PTR is the designated channel for new features and bug fixes ahead of the main build
- Players should expect frequent character wipes and a higher bug density than the live environment
- Testing focuses on specific game systems; details will be communicated via the Ashes of Creation Discord
- Connecting an Intrepid account to Discord is required to participate in PTR communications
- The PTR carries no NDA — screenshots, videos, and streams are all permitted
For Alpha Two testers, the PTR represents a more direct window into systems still being actively shaped, with the trade-off of instability and regular progress resets.
