Closed Beta 1.1

Official Patch Notes
As a result, to the positive reactions from our community, we have decided to lift the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) until the end of the Closed Beta.

That means you will be allowed to record, share and stream any and all content the game has to offer once the patch is applied. As a note, the starting screen will be modified to reflect that decision.

Have fun streaming The Cycle: Frontier!
