Wildcard Arrives at Steam Next Fest with Free Battle Pass and Streamer Rewards

During the first days of Steam Next Fest, the Wildcard team wants to see the community in action. The studio announced that those who stream the game during this event will gain access to a free and accelerated Battle Pass, featuring exclusive and time-limited rewards.

The initiative encourages streamers to join early to boost the game’s visibility and build anticipation ahead of its Early Access release on Steam.

A Key Event Before Early Access

Steam Next Fest is one of the most important showcases for upcoming games, where thousands of users try demos, join live streams, and discover titles soon to launch on the platform.

Wildcard will use this opportunity to offer a free and open experience to all players.
According to official announcements on PlayWildcard, the title will be available free of charge throughout the festival, right before its Early Access launch on October 21.

To accompany this debut, the developers have prepared a free Battle Pass available exclusively during the event. This pass features accelerated progression and allows players to unlock unique items that will not return later.

Battle Pass Rewards and Goals

The special Steam Next Fest Battle Pass includes exclusive titles, banners, and skins, all designed to reward early participation.

“To celebrate Steam Next Fest, we’re launching a FREE Accelerated Battle Pass (October 13–20)!
Play all week to unlock exclusive titles, limited-time banners, and more!”

The goal is twofold: to offer free content to the community and to encourage content creators to showcase the game live during the event’s first days. Streaming Wildcard live will allow streamers to directly join this dynamic, increasing the game’s visibility while earning exclusive rewards.

Why the First Two Days Matter

Wildcard is placing special emphasis on the first two days of Steam Next Fest, when public attention peaks around new releases. For content creators, this period represents an ideal opportunity: less competition, greater visibility, and early access to event rewards.

Additionally, players who start streaming or playing early will be able to progress faster through the Battle Pass and unlock more items before the event concludes on October 20.

Details Yet to Be Confirmed

While the studio has revealed the main incentives, it has not yet specified the exact requirements for streamers who wish to participate. Criteria such as minimum stream duration or valid platforms have not been detailed.

For now, it is recommended to follow Wildcard’s official channels — both on X and their Discord server — where the final participation guidelines will be announced closer to the event.
