Is There Early Access?
While Sparking Zero hasn’t had a wide beta before release, there will be a chance to play it early. A few days before the normal release date, players can get into Sparking Zero early access.
This early access period will be available starting next week! However, you’ll have to purchase the game through a specific edition to gain access.
Only those who have purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate editions will be able to take part in Sparking Zero early access. These packs also include DLC, like the Gamma Androids joining the Sparking Zero roster. The early access period will begin very soon if you pick up one of these versions of the game!
