Join the Conan: The Black Pyramid playtest

Playtest sign-ups are open on the Steam page for Conan: The Black Pyramid. The announcement says to hit Request Access. Invites go out in waves. On 11 November 2026 the publisher said the first playtest starts soon. On 14 November 2026 no public start date, region list, or build size had been added.

What the team said they will do with it

The Steam announcement says the studio will read what the first players report. The fact sheet repeats that sign-ups are open and that feedback will shape the game. A developer Q&A the same week said a wider playtest should arrive fairly soon, and that some design, including how random mini-bosses are, is still being argued inside the team. That is a reason to join if you like giving notes, and a reason not to treat the first build as the final game. The bosses page records the mini-boss point.

Which Steam app

Use the main game page, app 5367670. Steam also has app 5375330, titled Conan: The Black Pyramid Playtest, flagged from the main app's related-id list. That record is Windows-only, has an empty release-date string, and exposes no package and no price. The developer did not tell players to buy it. Request Access on the main page is the instruction in the announcement.

What you should not expect

The build is not public, so no personal clear time or bug list is included. What a participant can expect, from the publisher's own wording, is an invite rather than an instant download. Waves mean a request can sit unanswered. That is the process they described, not a broken button.

Do not send account passwords to anyone offering a "guaranteed" slot. The real control is the Request Access control on Steam, linked from official links. If you only want news and not a test build, a wishlist is the lighter step.

What the demo already revealed

Before public invites, the studio showed press a remote demo. That demo is the source of the Nexus hub name, the Veils wording, the three-hit strings, and Stan. Those details live on combat, Warrior Memories, and locations. They are reports about a preview, not patch notes for the public test. The public test can still move them. The Q&A said as much about co-op item sharing. Read co-op if you plan to test with a friend.

Verdict: Request Access if you want a wave and you can tolerate a build that the developers still plan to change. Wishlist either way so the 2027 date reaching a real day does not pass you by.
