Preludes is Digital Extremes' invite-style testing phase before Soulframe enters Steam Early Access. Players explore a growing slice of Midrath while the studio ships numbered content drops—new weapons, bosses, and systems—on a regular cadence. It is not the final launch; it is the live proving ground where balance, performance, and onboarding are still being refined with community feedback.

Digital Extremes has not published a firm Early Access calendar date. Public messaging consistently points to finishing Preludes milestones first—broader content, stability, and onboarding—before opening a wider Steam EA window.

Platforms confirmed: PC (via soulframe.com), with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S planned for the full launch. No console access during Preludes.
