1. If you had applied previously, then just check your Steam library. The beta should be there already.

2. If not, head to the game's Steam page.

3. Click the "Request Access" button (or "Play" from your library if you're already in).

4. Download the client and set sail!

The playtest runs strictly within these dates:

• Start: February 13, 2026

• End: February 17, 2026

We've cooked up a special challenge for the playtest. Just logging in won't cut it — show us you've got what it takes to be a true corsair. Here's the deal:
Your task: Reach Rank 5 during the playtest.

Your reward:
The legendary native musketeer Tichingitu and his unique Ancestral Musket.

Tichingitu is a rare musketeer officer type in our game — a unique collaboration with BlackMark Studio.

• The reward will be granted in the release version.
  We'll be tracking your progress. Hit Rank 5 before February 17, earn the "Stronger Than Iron" achievement, and Tichingitu will be waiting for you on release day.

• Tichingitu won't be a major story companion like Charles was in Caribbean Legend.

We're counting on your bug reports and feedback. Your help now directly shapes the final release!

The French, German, Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese translations are currently in "\[BETA]" mode. We need time and your support to improve their quality and finalize them. You can help improve the translation for your language in dedicated forums on our Discord Server[discord.com].

Time's running out, and the sea won't wait. Fair winds, captains!

Our remaster is entering the home stretch before release, and we're inviting the most seasoned sea wolves and newcomers alike to join the closed playtest for Caribbean Legend: Age of Pirates!

But most importantly — make sure to add the game to your wishlist!

We've decided to take a bold step: for the duration of the playtest, all content and features will be temporarily available without restrictions.

• Optimization for modern systems and configurations.

• All storylines and side quests.

• All quality-of-life improvements from Caribbean Legend: tutorials, markers, controls, camera.

• Full archipelago map and expanded ship roster.

• Fresh visual enhancements.

• No cut gameplay mechanics.

Access is granted through the Steam Playtest system:

1. Go to the game's Steam page.

2. Click the "Request Access" button in the playtest section.

3. Once your request is approved, the game will appear in your library.

Applications are accepted until February 13, 2026 — on the same day, we'll open temporary access to the game.

As a special reward, all playtest participants who reach Rank 5 will receive a unique achievement and an exclusive bonus in the release version:

The legendary native Tichingitu...and his ancestral musket!

The beloved loyal companion and unmatched marksman is now part of the Age of Pirates universe, ready to swear an oath of allegiance stronger than iron. Exclusive to playtest participants, highlighting the connection between the Caribbean Legend series and the friendship between ReCon Team and Black Mark Studio. Don't miss your chance to recruit this officer to your crew at launch!

Since you have access to the full game, we're especially looking for feedback on both the early content and how the new features perform in the long run, as well as stability during extended play sessions.
