Krafton has launched the beta version of 'KRAFTON Players', an official fan platform where users can get early hands-on experience with new games currently in development. On the platform, players can participate in playtests for upcoming titles and complete missions to earn badges and rewards.
At the core of the platform are playtests for new titles. Krafton noted on the site that players will gain exclusive rights to be the first to experience uncharted territory. The site carries the subtitle "From new game tests to AI profile images." However, Krafton has not yet disclosed which titles will be tested, when the tests will occur, or the scale of participants.
User profile functionality has also been included. Players can select a persona tailored to their playstyle across Krafton games—from 'PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' to 'inZOI'—and activate their own custom player profile.
Completing missions earns players badges. Krafton explained that these badges serve as proof that users are leaders helping shape the company's future alongside the developer. Krafton did not clarify whether rewards other than badges will include in-game items.
With Krafton preparing to release a series of new titles in the future, the platform appears designed to serve as a dedicated channel to gauge player feedback prior to official release.
The structure gathers playtest participants at the company level rather than for individual games, consolidating user play tendencies in one central hub. The first title selected for a playtest and its schedule have yet to be determined.
