Coming soon does not mean the playtest is closed to applications
HUNGER is the multiplayer extraction RPG from GOOD FUN CORPORATION at Steam app 1752080. On October 25, 2026 its store still says Coming soon and that the game is not yet available. A separate Join the Hunger Playtest panel lets players request access.
The developer’s October 19 announcement starts the Closed Beta on that date. Its October 21 update says the test ends October 26. This is a dated test window, not a confirmed Early Access launch date. The store’s plan to release an Early Access build in 2026 remains a plan rather than an exact release day.
Request access through Steam, then wait for a grant
Use the playtest panel on the exact Steam page. Requesting access enters the developer’s process; it does not immediately establish that your account can download or join.
The October 19 announcement says invitations are issued progressively while stability is validated and that new requests may close. Once granted access, the player receives a Steam email and HUNGER Playtest appears in the Steam Library. Check the library entry as well as the application state before looking for an installation.
That announcement also says friend invitations can remain available if new requests close. It does not mean every applicant automatically receives an invitation. Follow the controls your admitted account actually shows; this guide has not applied, accepted an invite or installed the test.
The official test dates alone do not establish a regional eligibility rule. If Steam displays an account or availability restriction, use that actual message; a general test announcement is not proof of access in every country.
Update the playtest client before troubleshooting an old build
The October 20 hotfix instructs players to fully close HUNGER, restart Steam and update HUNGER Playtest. Its fixes address matchmaking, long Entering Chateau loads, reload animations and stability.
That instruction belongs to this specific test client. If the library still offers no HUNGER Playtest entry, restarting Steam is not proof that access was granted. Separate an application awaiting approval from an admitted client that needs an update.
If the test is no longer available when you read this, check the latest developer announcement before treating an old invite or test guide as an ongoing service. No later open-beta date or guaranteed extension is asserted here.
Published PC requirements are not yet a complete hardware target
The checked store requirements do not specify RAM or storage figures. A download size reported for one test build is not a final disk-space requirement, and Windows being listed does not establish compatibility with every Windows machine.
No Mac, Linux, console or Steam Deck support is inferred from the availability of the Steam page. Wait for an actual supported-platform or hardware statement before relying on one.

What an Extraction RPG means in the developer’s description
The game combines expeditions and combat with longer-term character growth. The October 21 developer update describes abilities as a starting foundation, Masteries as specialisation, and gathering or crafting Professions as roles that shape a character alongside equipment.
Its Prestige explanation describes a new Mastery journey while carrying abilities forward. The stated design avoids recurring forced global wipes. That is different from a guarantee that every item survives death, that a test will never reset, or that beta progress will transfer to release.
Choose what you want to learn in a test session: combat, a profession or how progression fits together. We have not tested a build, extraction route, item-loss rule or beta character transfer. Store and developer descriptions explain the intended systems; they are not Nisu gameplay results.
Quick help
Has HUNGER launched on Steam?
The store checked October 25, 2026 still lists Coming soon. Closed-beta participation is separate from a general release.
Does Request Access guarantee immediate entry?
No. The developer says invitations are issued progressively and requests may close.
What GPU and RAM do I need?
The checked store marks processor and graphics TBC and does not provide RAM or storage figures.
Does no forced global wipes guarantee beta progress transfers?
No. The long-term progression design does not establish beta-to-release transfer or every test reset rule.
