PUBG STUDIOS, a subsidiary of KRAFTON, is conducting a closed community test for its upcoming Extraction Shooter, 'PUBG: Black Budget,' in the European (EU) region. The studio announced the detailed schedule and participant recruitment guidelines via its official social media channels on the 16th (local time).

The test will run for three days, from the 22nd to the 24th. To ensure high-quality matchmaking and a focused testing environment, the developers will open the servers only during designated hours.

This community test will be conducted on a small-scale, invitation-only basis, focusing on verifying development progress and testing new features rather than providing a casual gameplay experience.

The development team emphasized, "This is not an open play session or an early access event for casual gameplay. We need active participants who can test specific features and systems and provide structured feedback."

Accordingly, the selection process will prioritize users experienced in the Extraction Shooter genre and those who have participated in previous 'PUBG: Black Budget' tests.

Applications for the test are limited to users residing in the EU.

Selected participants will be granted a Steam Playtest key and access to a private Discord channel. Participants will be required to play the game according to provided guidelines and scenarios, and then submit feedback via a survey.

All participants must agree to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and streaming gameplay or sharing content externally is strictly prohibited.

The developers added, "We plan to keep participants who contribute actively to this test in our future playtest groups."
