Our day has come! Steel Hunters has officially entered Early Access, and from now on, the Hunting Grounds will remain open 24/7. We're looking forward to exciting battles and the shrieking sounds of clashing metal echoing through our post-apocalyptic maps. All of your progress will from now on be permanent—no more wipes! And there's a lot of cool new stuff to earn!
Running through April 29, 2025, this BattlePass is our gift to you—completely FREE! Included are great rewards, like 3x Grade 1 Skins, but you can also upgrade your BattlePass to Pro—and Premium—through gameplay. This will reward you with more and higher-grade Skins, as well as Boosters and Credits!

Launching Early Access is a way for us, to better connect to our player-base and include more feedback into the final game. We had our Devs give us an overview behind the reasoning on this step, and why we believe it is going to be beneficial to both: The developers and the Players.
On our official Discord channel we do not only get together as Players and SH Team to discuss the game and find Duo-Partners, you will also find a dedicated feedback-thread.
And: Keep an eye on your email inbox for targeted surveys—we want to hear your thoughts!
Early Access is a special occasion, and our communication channels have been bursting with fresh content! But there's a lot more to come! From Lore Videos to Announcements and exciting behind-the-scenes looks, make sure to stay connected by following us on your favorite social media channels!
