Register your interest in the official Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 Beta playtest — here is how it works.
The official Total War site currently lets players register their interest in the Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 Beta playtest. The sign-up is open now — ahead of the 2026 launch.
Registering your interest does not guarantee a key. Historically, Creative Assembly runs closed tests in waves, prioritising registered players and community members.
Closed beta players get hands-on time with factions and battles before the official release.
Creative Assembly uses playtest feedback to balance factions and fix issues before launch.
Betas typically feature a slice of the campaign and a selection of playable factions.
