Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pre-order to access the beta?
Closed Beta: Pre-order Deluxe/Ultimate for guaranteed access. Standard Edition pre-orders get priority selection. Free applications also accepted but limited slots. Open Beta: Completely free for everyone, no pre-order required.
Will my beta progress carry over to the full game?
Possibly, but not confirmed. Open Beta progress (Q1 2026) has the highest chance of carrying over. Closed Beta progress will likely reset to ensure fair launch. All beta rewards and unlockables definitely carry over regardless. Official announcement coming soon.
Can I stream Open Beta gameplay?
Yes! Open Beta has no NDA restrictions. Stream, record, and share freely on Twitch, YouTube, etc. Closed Beta requires NDA - no streaming allowed.
How long does each beta phase last?
Closed Beta: Running continuously November-December 2025 (2 months). Open Beta: Three weekend sessions in Q1 2026 (Friday-Sunday each). Exact dates announced 2 weeks before each phase begins. Subscribe to notifications on the official site.
What happens if I violate the NDA?
First offense: Warning and content takedown request. Second offense: Immediate beta access revocation and permanent ban from future Skybound/Quarter Up beta programs. Severe violations (leaking unreleased characters, story spoilers) may result in legal action. Take the NDA seriously.
How do I get selected for Closed Beta without pre-ordering?
Selection is based on: 1) Application completeness, 2) Platform diversity (they need testers on all platforms), 3) Region (global server testing), 4) Fighting game experience level (mix of newcomers and veterans). Apply early, provide detailed answers, and be honest about your experience level.
Can I participate in beta from multiple platforms?
Yes! You can apply for beta on PC, PS5, and Xbox separately. If selected for multiple platforms, you'll receive separate codes. This is encouraged for cross-play testing. Beta rewards earned on one platform transfer to all platforms at launch.
What if I find a game-breaking bug or exploit?
Report it privately through the in-game bug reporter immediately - do NOT share publicly or on Discord. Critical bugs earn extra rewards and recognition. The dev team prioritizes these reports and may reach out directly for additional details. Exploiting bugs instead of reporting them may result in beta access revocation.
Will there be server maintenance during beta?
Yes, expect frequent maintenance windows during beta. Closed Beta has scheduled maintenance every Tuesday 2-4 AM PST. Emergency maintenance may occur without notice. The team will announce major patches in the beta Discord. Your matches won't be interrupted - you'll be warned before maintenance starts.
Can I invite friends to Closed Beta?
Possibly. Previous Skybound betas have included "invite-a-friend" tokens for active testers. These are typically given to players who submit quality feedback or complete specific beta challenges. Friends still need to accept NDA. Watch the beta Discord for announcements about invite codes.
