In Brief
- Expansive Access: XOCIETY’s upcoming Pre-Season Playtest offers continuous gameplay from September 22 through September 29, accessible globally on multiple servers.
- Enhanced Rewards and Gameplay Updates: A new reward system featuring 7.2 million $XO tokens for competitive gameplay and Live Token Conversion will be introduced.
- Open and Free Access: All players can participate without restriction via the Epic Games Store, with improvements in gameplay mechanics and system optimizations.
Scheduled to commence on September 22 at 00:00 UTC, the forthcoming Pre-Season Playtest for the game XOCIETY is designed to allow continuous, uninterrupted play until September 29 at 23:59 UTC. Unlike previous tests, this session will enable full-time access across four strategically placed servers in North America, Asia, East Asia, and Europe, which will operate around the clock to accommodate a global audience.
Reward Structure
The playtest features significant updates to the rewards program. Players can engage in a Competitive Mode with a substantial prize pool of 7.2 million $XO tokens. Additionally, there’s a Standard Battle Pass that allows players to earn up to 1 million $XO through gameplay progression. The event has phased out the premium Battle Pass and daily check-in rewards, focusing squarely on gameplay excellence and achievements.
A standout feature of this playtest is the adoption of a real-time token conversion system. Starting September 26, participants can convert XO Packs acquired during gameplay directly into $XO tokens. This initiative, powered by the Sui network, facilitates immediate access to rewards, enhancing the gaming experience.
Gameplay Enhancements Based on Feedback
Following player input from earlier tests, XOCIETY has implemented extensive updates across its system. Adjustments have been made to the combat mechanics, gear systems, and skills to increase the tactical diversity. This also includes streamlined inventory management and improved animations, providing a sharper and more responsive battle experience.
Simplification for Better Play
Changes have been made to simplify loot collection and inventory systems, allowing players to focus more on the gameplay rather than the management of resources. The adjustments aim to enhance the player’s experience by reducing complexity, which includes modifications to map accessibility and the operation of extraction portals.
How to Participate
The Pre-Season Playtest is accessible to all players for download via the Epic Games Store. Search for “XOCIETY Playtest” on the platform to find and install the game. Players can pre-install the game before the launch and are free to access the servers as soon as the test goes live.
This new phase of testing follows the Phase Zero event, which was primarily a trial of the game’s token system and cross-platform functionality, distributing 20 million $XO tokens in various categories. This test aims to refine these systems further by offering more extensive access and a more streamlined rewards system, eliminating the previous session-based limitations.
Emphasis on Gameplay and Accessibility
The latest test eliminates time constraints and premiums, focusing entirely on skill-based play and intrinsic game rewards. This approach aligns with a broader strategy to make XOCIETY a more robust and player-centric game, where rewards are tied directly to gameplay achievements.
XOCIETY’s Blockchain Integration
The $XO token, a central element of XOCIETY’s in-game economy running on the Sui network, continues to play a pivotal role. The upcoming live token conversion feature underlines the game’s commitment to integrating a functional and player-friendly blockchain economy, setting the stage for its eventual full release.
