Alternative Steam betas (branches/versions)

Steam betas allow you to switch between different versions of Unturned. These include archived versions from years ago, the current default public version, and sometimes a sneak peek of the next upcoming version.

You can view the available betas and switch between them in Steam here:

1. Right-click Unturned in your Steam Library
2. Click Properties
3. Select the Betas tab
4. Select any beta from the dropdown for Steam to queue the download and installation

"preview" has the newest changes in the works for the next update. After an update it will usually match the public branch until some new changes are ready for testing.

Listed backwards in time the other beta options are:

• 32bit-windows: version 3.22.14.2. This is the final 32-bit Windows version with multiplayer support. If you have a 32-bit Windows PC you can play multiplayer on this older version by hosting a dedicated server on this branch.
• unity-2019: version 3.22.10.1. This is the final version using Unity 2019 before the update to Unity 2020. You can use this branch to play mods that are incompatible with newer versions of Unity.
• unity-2018: version 3.20.13.2. This is the final version using Unity 2018 before the update to Unity 2019. You can use this branch to play mods that are incompatible with newer versions of Unity.
• unity-2017.4: version 3.19.15.0. This is the final version using Unity 2017 before the update to Unity 2018. You can use this branch to play mods that are incompatible with newer versions of Unity.
• unity-5.5: version 3.27.2.1. This is the final version using Unity 5 before the update to Unity 2017. The version number looks newer because it was before the second digit of the version number represented the release year. You can use this branch to play mods that are incompatible with newer versions of Unity.
• classic: version 2.2.5. This is the final update to the 2.x version of Unturned that first launched into Steam Early Access in 2014. i.e., the final 2.x update before 3.x replaced it on the main branch.
• antique: version 1.1. This is the browser edition of the game available on the SDG website before 2.x began development.

How do I get back to the current default public version?

Can servers be hosted using a beta version?

Yes, steamcmd has an option to specify the beta by name when downloading the dedicated server.
