ORGANIC FREE-TO-PLAY & SUBSCRIBED PLAYERS CAN ACCESS OPEN BETA. CRS IS CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE BETA ACCESS TO STEAM PLATFORM PLAYERS. CREATE AN ORGANIC FREE-TO-PLAY ACCOUNT & JOIN US - www.wwiionline.com/play.


CRS has publicly shared the need for more testing to ensure obvious issues are reported and corrected before a patch is deployed to the Campaign Server.


As a supporter of WWII ONLINE, you will download the PUBLIC BETA CLIENT and log onto the Beta server. This means you can access new equipment such as the Valentine MK X, M18 Hellcat, and Panther A models while experiencing first-hand features such as auto-pilot, take-off, and wingman. The primary focus of the PUBLIC BETA is to find and document issues which need to be addressed.
