Disintegration Technical Beta Pilot a heavily armed Gravcycle and command your troops on the ground in Disintegration, a new sci-fi first-person shooter unlike any other. Disintegration features both a thrilling single-player campaign and frenetic PvP multiplayer. Join the multiplayer technical beta today and compete against other pilots and their Crews. Download

The beta can be found on the Microsoft store. Progress won't carry over into the main game, and V1 Interactive and Private Division emphasise that the game's still in development: the beta might have bugs, matchmaking problems, placeholder items, framerate drops, or other issues.Disintegration is a dystopian first person shooter. It's set in the "near future", according to the Disintegration site, in a time when the world has been ravaged by climate crises, overpopulation, and food shortages. Nations are sinking under the weight of these combined issues and a mysterious "global pandemic", with humanity on the verge of complete extinction. In a desperate bid to keep humanity alive, scientists create a short-term solution: a process called Integration, in which they can place human brains inside "a robotic armature". However, some begin to see this not as a temporary state, but as the future; and these became the Rayonne. When war breaks out, the Integrated Rayonne turn on humans, forcing them through the Integration process and killing anyone who refuses. The player's character, Romer Shoal, has been Integrated, but turned against the Rayonne. They're now an outlaw and a leader of other rebels, who are determined to fight for a better future.The game's got both a single player campaign and PvP multiplayer. The multiplayer is made up of Gravcycle pilots and ground Crews and the beta, which is multiplayer only, lets players face off against each other with their unique abilities. The beta runs until February 1st 11:59pm PST/ February 2nd 8:59am CET.
