Supporter Preview for 0.4: Everything You Need to Know
Hey, everyone,
The Spearhead update for Gray Zone Warfare launches on March 31. To express our gratitude for your support, all Supporter Edition owners will receive access to the update preview starting March 27. Any progress made during this period will carry over to the full release.
Read on to learn how to access the preview.
How to Access the Supporter Preview
To join the Supporter Preview, you need to own the Supporter Edition of Gray Zone Warfare.
If you would like to purchase the Supporter Edition or upgrade your current edition, you can do so through the game’s store page. Players who already own the base game, Tactical Edition, or Elite Edition can upgrade to Supporter by paying only the price difference.
Once the preview begins on March 27, after our Dev Stream ends, you will need to switch your Steam branch in order to download the 0.4 build. Please note that after switching, you will not be able to return to version 0.3.5.5.
How to download the update:
Open Steam
Right-click on Gray Zone Warfare in your Library
Select “Properties”
Go to “Game Versions & Betas”
Select the “supporter-preview” branch
Download version 0.4 by clicking “Update” in Steam. If the option does not appear, restart Steam, switch to offline mode, then back online, and try again.
Launch the game
