Playtests and keys

Steam keys and access

To play a playtest or receive a gift from the studio, you get either a Steam key or a branch access.

A key is never written in an email. You get a personal link like reissad.com/k/…. When you open it, you see your key at the moment you reveal it. Each link is for you only: do not share it.

  1. Open the link from the email you received.
  2. Sign in if asked (the same account that received the key).
  3. Click to reveal the key and copy it.

Activate a key on Steam

  1. Open Steam and go to Games › Activate a Product on Steam.
  2. Paste the key and follow the steps. It adds Bodycam (or the playtest) to your library.
  3. Activate before the date given in the email: some keys expire.
A key is personal: one key per account. Never share the key you received for yourself.

Branches (access to a test version)

Some tests go through a Steam branch instead of a key:

  1. In Steam, right-click Bodycam › Properties › Betas.
  2. Enter the access code shown on the playtest page, then pick the branch offered.
  3. Steam downloads the test version. To go back to the normal game, pick "None".

The access code is no longer shown once the playtest ends: if the version is already installed, you can keep playing until the end.

Finding your keys

Each key arrives by email with its personal link: reopen that email to find it again. Creator Program members can also request keys (for themselves, their community or their team) from their space: the team answers, usually within a few days, and the keys received stay listed there.
