I've been asked about this quite a lot these past few days, so let me make it crystal clear all at once. Many people are getting lost trying to find the official website address and test entry for "PUBG: Black Domain Evacuation." Frankly speaking, the anomalies on Koli Island aren't the scariest part—what's truly terrifying is not even being able to find the door. There are only so many test slots available; a step late and they belong to someone else. Information disparity directly determines whether you can get into the first batch.

Quick Navigation

Where is the PUBG Black Domain Evacuation Official Site

The Steam Store page is the only official entry point, locked at this address: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4077740/ . All other channels are second-hand information—just remember this one. There are discussions on TapTap, but test applications must go through Steam or official livestream events. Don't waste time trying other methods.

Test Recruitment and Schedule

Test Recruitment Period

The official test recruitment window has been clearly announced: it starts from 0:00 on November 23, 2025 and ends at 23:59 on December 12. The two rounds of official testing are December 12-14 and December 19-21. No applications can be submitted after recruitment closes—this deadline has no flexibility whatsoever.

Test Data Information

Test data will not be carried over to the official launch. Players will need to start their game progress over after official launch. The focus of participating in the test is to experience the gameplay and provide feedback.

Hard Requirements for Participating in the Test

Participating Regions

This test covers parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Mainland China is not included. Direct connection from local networks will have high latency and requires a gaming VPN/accelerator to optimize network conditions.

Minimum System Requirements

These requirements are hard thresholds—don't bother if you can't meet them:

  • Operating System: Windows 11

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400, AMD Ryzen 5 2600

  • Memory: 16GB

  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 2060/AMD Radeon RX 6600

  • DirectX Version: 12

  • Storage Space: 30GB available space

These thresholds are hard requirements—applying for the test with lower specs is pretty meaningless.

How to Apply for the Test

Applying via Steam

Players visit the PUBG Black Domain Evacuation Steam Store page, then click the "Request Access" button to apply for test qualification, and wait for approval to play. Review takes 1-3 business days—this is the standard processing time.

Twitch/Chzzk Livestream Drops

Players can obtain test activation codes through Twitch and Chzzk Drops. Since Playtest invitations are distributed randomly, if you don't want to wait, you can watch selected streamers to get activation codes. To obtain activation codes, you must first link your Krafton ID to your streaming platform account.

Note: If you gain access through both invitation and activation code, you can only register the game using one method. Activation codes distributed by streamers may also run out quickly, so be sure to pay attention to eligible livestreams.

Targeted Solutions for Download Interruptions or Slow Speeds

If downloads keep getting interrupted, open the Steam client, go to Settings > Downloads, and click "Clear Download Cache". This operation will sign out your account and delete incomplete download files, so make sure to only do this after downloads have completely stopped. After clearing, sign in again and restart the download to resolve most interruption issues.

When download speeds are too slow, change the download region server on the same settings page. Select a server closer to your location with lower latency—for example, Asian players should prioritize Hong Kong, Japan, or Singapore nodes. Restart the Steam client after changing, and speed will improve significantly.

Test slots are scarce and server capacity is limited. Every step determines whether you can be among the first to enter Koli Island. Bookmark the official site address, check your device against the requirements, and complete your application before the recruitment deadline. Apply right now—don't wait until slots are full to regret it.
