GRIT News

Howdy Partners,

We’re ready to pull on our boots, pick up our lucky hat, and dive into Sunrise County with you for two days of Wild West gunslinging action! It’s our favorite time of the week, which is why we do it every week!

You continue to be a tremendous help identifying issues and sharing feedback (plus some great laughs) with us on our Discord as we conquer the GRIT pre-Early Access playtesting adventure together.

Thanks to some excellent player feedback, this week’s schedule is a little bit different, so mark those calendars:

Thursday - June 24:
9am - 2pm Pacific Time (5pm - 10pm BST) - European server
2pm - 5pm (10pm - 1am BST) - Server maintenance
5pm - 10pm Pacific Time (1am - 6am BST) - North American server

Friday - June 25:
9am - 2pm Pacific Time (5pm - 10pm BST) - European server
2pm - 5pm (10pm - 1am BST) - Server maintenance
5pm - 10pm Pacific Time (1am - 6am BST) - North American server



As always, whether we are playing on EU or NA servers, even if you’re not from that region, we want you to click that “Play” button! We love the company!

And if you’re new to this shindig, then allow us to be the first to welcome you to Sunrise County! We’d love for you to join us this Thursday and Friday. Access to the playtests is free, and if you accumulate enough Beta XP, you’ll be eligible for a reward in the full game!

Don’t miss your opportunity to witness the dawn of the rootin’ tootin’ Western Royale experience that we call GRIT!

So grab your boots and bullets, and hop in the saddle this week! We’ve got a host of fixes and improvements lined up, thanks to all of your great pre-Early-Access feedback.

And speaking of feedback, we already have an amazing community who have been providing real-time suggestions and reports on our Discord, and we couldn’t be more thankful for that. So if you haven’t yet, head on over to our virtual saloon in Discord, belly up to the bar, and tell us what you think of the game. We’d love for you to join us:

We’ll see you out there in Sunrise County!

Howdy there, GRIT Community! We have some great news - we’re going open up playtests to be EVERY WEEK on Thursday and Friday, starting this coming week:

Thursdays: 6am - 10pm Pacific Time (2pm - 6am BST)
Fridays: 6am - 10pm Pacific Time (2pm - 6am BST)



The game has come a long way since our first playtest, and we reckon that ya’ll helped us get there. And we’re very excited that GRIT is in such a good place that we can open up more regular playtests. We truly appreciate your support, feedback, and patience while we work to build a better Sunrise County.

Moving to weekly tests means that our beloved GRIT Community has more regular playtest times. We are making it a priority to give our Community more time in the saddle — more shootin’ and lootin’, with more frequent, smaller updates. You might find the patch notes a bit shorter, but it feels like a fair trade.

Come join us and ride every Thursday and Friday! We’ll see you there!!

Howdy Partner,

We’ve been having the time of our lives riding in Sunrise County with you, taking note of your great feedback and improving our wild west royale every day. After much reflection, and taking into account the great responses, excitement, and expectations set against GRIT during this pre-Early Access playtest period, we have decided to move the launch of Early Access from this Spring to Summer.




We’ll use the extra handful of months to continue to grind away, as we have a ton on our content and improvement plates. Everything from animations to movement and progression is being worked on.

We will still continue to hold periodic playtests in order to have our great community play and experience these improvements as they come.

Make sure you're following our Discord to stay tuned for the latest updates and future playtest schedules that we’ll announce soon.

Thanks for your patience and for being part of this community!

- Team GRIT
