Company of Heroes 3’s Multiplayer Tech Test Is Now Live

Those itching to try out the new real-time strategy game Company of Heroes 3 can do so right now through Steam as Relic Entertainment is currently hosting a Multiplayer Test for the game and all players can participate for free. The test will run until January 16, 10 AM PT.

Company of Heroes 3 Multiplayer Tech Test

 To join the Multiplayer Tech Test is rather simple. All you need to do is head to the Steam launcher with your account and go to the Company of Heroes 3 store page. Below the options to pre-purchase the game you’ll see a button to allow you to request access to the Multiplayer Tech Test. Once you click it, you should get access right away and you can start downloading this version of the game. 

This is the best time to try out the game before it releases on February 23, 2023. The content available is pretty extensive too as most of the game’s multiplayer features will be available to allow Relic to test Server load and connection stability.

Here’s a rundown of what you can expect in the Multiplayer Tech Test.

Features available during the Multiplayer Tech Test

Mission Zero – First time launch tutorial (skippable). Note that there are many tutorials and first-time-user tooltips that will not be present in this test, but you will be able to experience at launch.  

As this test is Multiplayer focused, Tactical Pause will not be available. However, at launch, Tactical Pause will be available in the singleplayer Dynamic Campaign Map in Italy, in the North African Operation, and in singleplayer Skirmish.
