Exciting News, Comrades!

I'm thrilled to announce that our small but mighty team has just wrapped up closed beta testing for the multiplayer mode in Arms Race 2! It’s been a wild ride full of challenges, but we’ve overcome them—and multiplayer is now running smoothly and ready for action.

In the early days of testing, launching a server and connecting players could take up to 3 minutes. But now? It’s lightning fast—just 3 to 5 seconds!

To make finding allies easier, I’ve created a matchmaking thread on the Arms Race 2 Steam forum. If you're looking for teammates to strategize and dominate with, drop your contact info there and coordinate your sessions—super simple and super fast!

I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your amazing support. Your feedback has been 100% positive so far, and for a small indie team like ours, that means the world. It was your incredible support that truly inspired us to bring multiplayer to life. We built it for you—and we can’t wait to see you all playing together

And here’s a bonus: your friends don’t need to own AR2 to play with you! The free demo of Arms Race 2 is fully integrated with multiplayer. Just have them download it and jump right into battle with you.

Multiplayer launches later this month—before June begins.

Get ready for an unforgettable summer of strategy, alliances, and global domination in Arms Race 2!

Hi comrades,

I'm excited to share that our small team will soon be releasing a multiplayer mode for Arms Race 2! You'll finally be able to enjoy epic Cold War geopolitical sessions with your friends.

Right now, I’m looking for a few players who’d like to participate in beta testing the multiplayer mode. We’ll play some online matches — you’ll get to enjoy the game while I test the features we need. The winner will be the player who earns the highest score, just like in the regular game.

If you're interested, please add me to your Steam friends list, send me a message, and we’ll take it from there.

Thanks, and I hope to see you soon on the global Cold War battlefield!

Max Sprin
