In other news, our first Closed Beta ended last week on 01/23 after an incredible week with the selected testers. Our dev team had a blast winning and losing games against some very talented individuals in the testing group. We also had the opportunity to get a lot of feedback on what works and what doesn't, as well as an amazing 60 total tickets of bugs that our testers were able to help us find.
It was a whole lot of fun, and we made a bunch of new friends along the way.
Thank you so much to those who participated, we are humbled by your support.

We continue to post more game news frequently in our Discord server, and share passions and friendships along the way. Most recently we have posted a showcase of one our heroes, Shinya! If you are interested in checking it out, please consider joining us at https://discord.gg/x8vr

Update on Closed Beta and a few words from X8 Producer

Hello everyone, todya we have an important announcement regarding the upcoming closed beta:

First off, we'd like to express our gratitude for your incredible support over the past couple weeks. It's been an unexpected and very welcome surprise, and it's been amazing to connect with so many VR fans who are so excited to play X8.

To better reflect this amount of support, we've decided to provide you with a beta with more features than our initial plan, and so that it's overall a much better experience for everyone. This means that we'll be delaying the closed beta to early January.

If you already signed up for the closed beta, don't fret! We'll be holding on to the applications for this new date. If you were not able to apply for the beta, we will also be providing additional opportunities for people to receive beta keys and join the closed beta, so keep your eyes peeled on Discord and other socials!

Before taking a break for the holidays, we would also like to share this blog from X8 Executive Producer Masaru Ohnogi with more insights about the game: https://link.medium.com/rXMxCClXTvb

Thank you again for the incredible amount of support you have been showing us, and stay tuned for updates! Enjoy your holidays!
