Key Takeaways

• XOCIETY will host its Pre-Season Playtest from September 22 to September 29, 2025, with global server access.
• Rewards include 7.2 million $XO in Competitive Mode and 1 million $XO through the free Battle Pass.
• The event brings new gameplay updates, live $XO conversions, and broader access across PC and SuiPlay0x1 platforms.

XOCIETY Confirms Pre-Season Playtest

XOCIETY has confirmed that the Pre-Season Playtest will run from September 22 to September 29, 2025. This event follows the Phase Zero test held last month and expands player access. Unlike the limited earlier test, servers will stay open for a full week across multiple regions. The focus is on giving players more freedom to join at any time and explore the updated version of the game.

Servers will remain live in North America, Asia, East Asia, and Europe. Players from any of these regions can connect without restrictions during the week-long period. The game is available on both PC and the SuiPlay0x1 platform through the Epic Games Store. Pre-installation is supported, so players can set up the client in advance and jump in right when servers go live.

Rewards remain at the center of this event. Competitive Mode carries a large prize pool of 7.2 million $XO. In addition, the free Battle Pass offers up to 1 million $XO for steady progression. Unlike Phase Zero, there are no daily check-ins or premium Battle Pass upgrades. All rewards are tied directly to gameplay and progress.

Alongside the playtest, XOCIETY Missions continue as a separate campaign. This event distributes 100,000 $XO to participants who complete tasks and rank well on leaderboards. It provides an early chance to earn tokens before the playtest begins.

Timeline of the Event

The playtest officially begins on September 22 at 00:00 UTC and ends on September 29 at 23:59 UTC. Players can log in at any point during this period. A new update arrives on September 26 that introduces live conversions. From that date, XO Packs can be exchanged for $XO tokens while the event is still active. This system uses the Sui blockchain and removes the delay seen during Phase Zero.

The development team has made significant adjustments since the earlier test. Combat has been refined with new balance across weapons. Armor categories have been simplified, creating clear advantages for each type. Skills are redesigned with more tactical options. Consumables like grenades and healing tools now give players broader strategic choices in battle.

Visuals also see a major upgrade. Monster animations feel sharper, with better reactions to hits and more detailed sequences when enemies are defeated. These updates are designed to make battles look and feel more dynamic.

Loot systems now focus on simplicity. Enemies only drop consumables and currencies. Gear can only be found in Supply Crates. Currency pickups require closer interaction because of a smaller radius, but the design reduces clutter in inventories.

Map progression has been restructured for smoother flow. Sky Island is easier to access. The Warp Zone system has been rebalanced to create a clearer rhythm in matches. Extraction portals now feature countdown timers and allow all players to exit without number caps. This makes the exit system more transparent and predictable.

Participation and Free Access

Anyone can join the playtest for free. The client is listed as “XOCIETY Playtest” on the Epic Games Store. Once installed, the game opens automatically when servers launch on September 22.

Phase Zero distributed 20 million $XO across different categories such as Competitive Mode, logins, and Battle Pass progression. Tokens from that event will unlock on September 26. This release coincides with the introduction of live conversions during the Pre-Season Playtest.

The move from short sessions to continuous global access is an important milestone. The Pre-Season Playtest tests both the server network and the blockchain-based reward system. With free access, simplified mechanics, and real-time conversions, this phase brings XOCIETY closer to its eventual full release. Players have one full week to explore the updated content, earn rewards, and provide feedback.
