Last Chance to Experience the SYNCED Next Fest Demo
We hope you've had a blast syncing with Nanos and taking down your rivals throughout the past week. The SYNCED demo runs until the end of Steam Next Fest, which is Monday June 26 - 10AM Pacific.
That means you've got all weekend to experience the unique gameplay of SYNCED. So grab some friends and show those Tyrant Nano's who's boss - or jump in solo for some quality time with your Companion Nano!
Don't forget to Wishlist, and get set for the full release later this summer.
We appreciate all your feedbacks for the demo. With your kind help, we've addressed and fixed several bugs in the demo:
Fixed a crashing issue with GeForce RTX 40 series graphic card
Fixed a bug of hit box within PvP mode
Performance improvement in specific scenes
We will continue to review player feedback and work on further improving the game. Thank you, and have fun in SYNCED!

Demo Download FAQs
Our Steam Next Fest demo kicks off on June 19 and will remain accessible until the end of the event on June 26.
However, if you find yourself unable to access the SYNCED demo, please check the following possible reasons/solutions:
1)The SYNCED demo will not download. Solution: This may be happening due to a previous version of a SYNCED playtest still appearing in your library and causing some confusion behind the scenes. To fix this, click on "SYNCED" in your library, then "Support", and then "I want to permanently remove this game from my account" You can then go back to the SYNCED store page (not SYNCED demo store page) and click on the option to download the demo.
2)An error message claims the demo is not available in your region. Solution: Select your Steam username in the top right corner, and choose "Account details" followed by "View licenses and product key activations". You should see "SYNCED Demo (Chinese)" Select "Remove". Note: You may need to click "Purchase" on the SYNCED store page in order to see the green "Play" button as normal.
3)The demo downloaded, but anti-cheat is preventing it from launching. Solution: Restart your system and run the demo again.

Celebrate Steam Next Fest with our Developer Livestream
Greetings Runners,
We're hosting a Developer Livestream at 1PM Pacific, and you can watch it right here on Steam!
It's Steam Next Fest time and we've got a new demo for you to try out, featuring PvE and PvP, as well as squad and solo action. But what's that we hear...for some reason you're not at your gaming system and can't start syncing with Nanos immediately? We got you covered. Join our devs for an all-action SYNCED livestream as we look at some of the characters, nanos, and game modes available in the demo.
Our Next Fest demo runs until June 26, and the full version of SYNCED launches later this summer.
UPDATE: Demo Pre-download Delay
Unfortunately a technical issue has delayed the rollout of the pre-download for our Steam Next Fest demo. We are addressing this with Steam, but as it's currently the weekend on their side we cannot provide a timeframe for how quickly this issue will be resolved.
We will continue to update players as we work through this issue, and will notify you in advance if the launch of the demo itself is impacted. The current planned Demo launch time is July 19, 10AM Pacific.
We apologise for the pre-download delay and appreciate your patience as we work through this issue.

Dive back into SYNCED with our Steam Next Fest demo
Steam Next Fest runs from June 19 - 26, and we've prepared a special SYNCED demo for the event. While our previous playtests have focused on either PvP or PvE, squad play or solo, this time we're offering players a little bit of everything.
The demo hits on June 19, with pre-loading available 24 hours prior. Once in-game you'll be able to gear up in both PvE and PvP scenarios, while also choosing to enter the battlefield alone or with a full team. We'll also be providing a taste of our Guntech and Mod systems this time around, enabling players to deal even more damage to their enemies.
We'll have lots more details when the event kicks off, so stay tuned and don't forget to Wishlist!
SYNCED takes place in a world devastated by technology - the same technology that now determines who survives and who thrives in this dangerous new environment. But where did the story behind SYNCED originate from, and how did we seamlessly blend this narrative with the fast-paced PvE and PvP gameplay?
We sat down with Kevin Shortt, Narrative Director at NExT Studios, to discuss all things story-related. Check it out in today's Developer SYNC-up:
