How does it work?A Steam Playtest appID has access to the same Steamworks technical features as your main game - but with reduced store and community setup. You can let in as many or as few players as you need, and deactivate the playtest app when you wish. Steam Playtest also lets you easily gate access to your playtest. By using a separate “child” appID that is associated with, but separate from your main game, you can do the playtesting you need without interfering with your main game. What is it?The goal of this feature is to give developers a free, low-risk way to get playtesting data for their game without stressing out about Steam keys, user reviews, or wishlists.
