Sci-fi Multiplayer Wildgate's Community Preview Launches May 9 for Xbox Insiders

Xbox Insiders will soon get a first look at Wildgate, a new sci-fi multiplayer title from Inflexion Games. The Community Preview begins May 9 at 9 AM PDT and runs until May 12 at 5 PM PDT, exclusively on Xbox Series X|S.

Set in a procedurally generated environment called the Reach, Wildgate combines space combat with on-foot skirmishes. Each match drops players into a dynamically shifting map, where no two sessions play the same. The main objective: secure the Artifact—an in-game item that serves as the core competitive goal—while fending off rival Prospectors.

The game centers on a roster of unique Prospectors, characters with distinct abilities, gear, and combat roles. Whether piloting armed ships or engaging in close-quarters gunfights, players must adapt to unpredictable terrain and opposition.

To participate, Xbox users must enroll through the Xbox Insider Hub. After navigating to the ‘Previews’ section and selecting ‘Wildgate Community Preview’, registration is open on a first-come, first-served basis.

This early preview is intended to help the developers gather feedback ahead of a wider release. No word yet on when Wildgate will launch publicly, but this playtest marks a significant step in its development cycle.
