Sony Online's H1Z1 Hits Steam Early Access


You can now get an early look at Sony Online's upcoming zombie survial multiplayer game.


H1Z1 is now available as a Steam Early Access title. There are two tiers of Early Access: Standard ($19.99) and Premium ($39.99). Standard gets you three event tickets, two crates, and one crate key, while Premium gets you 25 event tickets, three airdrop tickets, six crates, four crate keys, and an Aviator Hat crafting recipe.


SOE is very keen on getting feedback from players during this early access. It's posted a blog entitled "What You Can Expect From H1Z1 Early Access," which is a pretty detailed – and frank – evaluation of the game and its most notable flaws and areas for improvement at present time.


The developers are also encouraging Early Access players to leave feedback about the game on the game's official Reddit and the offiicial H1Z1 forums.


The H1Z1 Early Access is now available on Steam.


SOE has also released a new Early Access trailer for the game, which you can watch below.

Our Take
There's no denying how popular Early Access passes are in video games today. On the one hand, it's great that developers are actively involving the community in the development process. It's obviously something gamers want. Still, the more cynical part of me thinks companies have basically just convinced everyone to pay to be in their public betas. Oh well, it's your dime.
