Time Takers Playtest Adds New Updates for Steam Players

NC is opening a 72-hour Steam playtest for Time Takers, its free-to-play survival shooter. The test is scheduled to run from 10:00 a.m. Pacific on September 4 until 10:00 a.m. Pacific on September 7, giving players an opportunity to try the game on Steam.

Time Takers centers its matches on time as both progression and health. Time functions as a resource that teammates can share when needed, making it an important part of how players manage a match and support one another.

What's Confirmed So Far

  • Platform: Steam. Players can request access through the game's official Steam page.
  • Download window: Downloads can begin on September 3, ahead of the playtest's September 4 start.
  • Playtest window: The test runs from 10:00 a.m. Pacific on September 4 through 10:00 a.m. Pacific on September 7, for 72 hours.
  • Business model: Time Takers is described as a free-to-play survival shooter.
  • Changes for this test: NC says the build includes updates based on feedback from previous tests, including character visual updates, colorblind mode support, tutorial improvements, and matchmaking and game-balance improvements.

Players who want to participate can request access on the Steam page before the test begins. The pre-download period opens a day earlier, allowing interested players to prepare for the September 4 start.
