BeastLink Updates
Launch timing, hardware truth, and preview takeaways in one shelf.
The Updates hub is for players still deciding whether to wishlist, buy on day one, or wait for patches. Start with Release Date Tracker, then the Roadmap, Price & Credits, Servers & Lobbies, System Requirements, and the BeastLink Preview.
Launch stack
August 18, 2026 Steam Early Access is the headline date. Scope details live in Early Access Overview. For how May playtests shaped expectations — including Wharf — read Playtests & Beta. Modes reading continues at the Modes Hub.
Lobby size reality check
Marketing loves 32; EA is expected nearer 24 until SuperDestruction proves stable. Decode the numbers on Servers & Lobbies.
Money and progression questions
EA price signals, the planned 1.0 bump, and the no-purchase Credits promise are consolidated on Price & Credits. Do not confuse match Serum with wallet currencies.
Studio context

After you are convinced
Leave this hub and train: How to Play, Beasts Hub, Controls Hub, Weapons & Vehicles. Keep the System Requirements Checker handy for friends.
Editorial stance
We separate confirmed store-page facts from speculative hype. When Grove Street publishes patch notes, this hub should grow real changelog pages — until then, treat trailers as vision, not patch notes.
