Play during pre-launch, win free rewards!

We're adding 5 new levels to the FREE Battle Pass, bringing the maximum level up to Level 25!

Here's all the new stuff you can earn:

Level 21: 1 Ballot
Level 22: 2 Ballots
Level 23: 3 Ballots
Level 24: 4 Ballots
Level 25: InfiniYETI

That's a total of 10 ballots toward a Steam Deck raffle giveaway.

How does it work?

Once you reach Level 21, you are officially eligible to win the Steam Deck.

A claim section will appear on your Battle Pass where you can enter your email address and click Claim. We'll only use this information to contact you and arrange shipping if you win.

You only need one ballot to be eligible, but every additional ballot increases your chances of winning.

After claiming at Level 21, Levels 22, 23, and 24 will display ✅ Claimed, since your email has already been submitted.
