- **added** — Experimental branch is now publicly available to all players for early testing of upcoming features and changes

Hey Creativerse players,

Starting today, we're opening up our **Experimental** branch to everyone.

This branch contains upcoming changes and new features that we're actively developing. Because there's a lot of new content (and potential for unexpected side effects), we're making it publicly available first so players can try it early, give feedback, and report issues before we roll anything into the live build.

**Please read before you opt in**

Experimental is a testing branch and may be unstable:

- Features may be incomplete, change rapidly, or never make it to live

- Experimental builds may contain bugs, performance issues, or unexpected behavior

- **Using the same world on Live and Experimental may cause problems**. We strongly recommend backing up worlds and keeping separate test worlds for Experimental

If you want the most stable experience, stay on the live branch.

##### How to join the Experimental branch

- Right-click **Creativerse** in your Steam Library

- Select **Properties**

- Open the **Betas** tab

- Enter the password under Private Betas: **experimental**

- Use the dropdown menu to switch between the live and experimental branches

Steam will download the Experimental build automatically.

##### Reporting bugs

If you run into issues while playing Experimental, please report them on Discord or in the existing Steam bug report forums and mention that you're on the **Experimental branch**.

Thanks for playing Creativerse, and we look forward to your feedback!
