r/EarlyAccessBetas: A place to share all early access games, as well as those with upcoming/current beta tests!

Dec 2, 2022 · Some early access games can be fully functional, enjoyable games just that it's not the final version of what the developer wants. For example, I've played more Rimworld in early access then I played the full release version. The early access felt like a full game, you did not feel like anything was missing.

The early access has been prostituted to turn into a free beta testing. No even that, because game is not even completed. The only genuine early access is the one who allows to play few days before release, with the game completed. Final Fantasy XIV does this with new expansions.

Early Access Content. Is Early Access a rough cut of the entire game? No. BG3 Early Access is an incomplete version of the game's first of three acts..

Jan 22, 2023 · Early access can be shit! Valheim is good! Dude,..just a suggestion from me: Ignore early access flags! Check steam reviews, check hours played by top reviews!

Mar 12, 2024 · For some time i've wanted to play the early acces of BG3 to see how different it was and to experience the cut content from the game, but I can't find any way of downloading it. Does anyone know if it is even possible to get a copy of the EA of the game? And if so, where?

Nov 3, 2020 · So unless Game Editorials/Journalists are willing to change their scores and their reviews in real-time as the changes are made to Early Access, their review and it's subsequent score won't be accurate for the Product for very long.
