Access and Installation
Returning players should note that to access Ashes of Creation, they will need to download the game from Steam. Intrepid Studios plans to retire its standalone launcher, which means players must uninstall it to free up space and ensure a smooth transition.
Account Linking
Players who previously had access through Kickstarter or alpha builds must link their accounts to Steam. It is advisable to do this before the early access launch to avoid any delays.
Preloading and Game Download
Unfortunately, there will be no preload option for Ashes of Creation. Players will need to wait until the servers go live to start downloading the game.
New Players and Availability
For newcomers, the opportunity to purchase Ashes of Creation through the Intrepid store has ended. They will need to wait for the game to become available on Steam to join the adventure in Verra.
Ashes of Creation’s early access is an exciting development for both returning and new players, and it promises to be a thrilling experience in the MMORPG landscape.
