Have you ever wanted an opportunity to test out the newest features on your favorite Steam game? If so, then you’ve come to the right place because the Steam beta branch allows you to do just that. Think about a game like League of Legends, where they have their own testing area, also known as the Public Beta Environment (PBE). This is a place where Riot Games can test out the latest champions, patch changes, new skins, and more before they hit the live servers.

Now you can start doing that with some of your favorite Steam games like Schedule 1 ! If you’re interested in testing out the latest changes to your favorite game, then stay tuned as we show you how to change a game to a beta branch on Steam.

Changing a game to a beta branch

Changing a Steam game to its beta version is very simple and only requires a few clicks, and then you’re good to go! We do want to warn that doing this could potentially harm your game files. Because the files are stored in one directory, unlike League of Legends, which has a separate client for their PBE, it means that your game save could get corrupted. This is a known feature, and Steam goes as far as to warn players before switching to the beta branch version.

With that out of the way, let’s get into showing you how to change it:

• On the Steam navigation bar, open up your Steam Library.
• Scroll down to the game you wish to change to the beta branch.
• Right-click that game and select properties.
• Click on the betas tab.
• Where it says beta participation, select the appropriate version.

Why change a game to the beta branch?

As stated above, this is an excellent way for both developers and fans to engage with the new updates coming to their favorite game. It allows them to provide feedback to the developers without it impacting the current live version. On top of that, it gives the developers time to iron out all the kinks before releasing it to the public.
