This includes (but not is limited to) opening packs and creating games - During the Beta you can test the gameplay with a number of packs higher than the packs actually purchased on the official shop page - All Team Members and Accessories you receive from opening packs on Beta will not be real NFTs and will not be reflected in the actual game after the official release - The Beta environment use a fake token named **PXL_BETA**. This token is not related at all with the main PXL token that will be used in the game. You cannot withdraw the PXL_BETA token - After joining the Beta you will receive 2x the number of packs you purchased - If you purchase more packs after joining the Beta, hit the Accept & Join button again to see your new packs (2x) reflected in Beta ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/riseofthepixels/23tbK2hGaKZpAyW3q5qnmg927opsHLh9V5G8VPzixaa4NCpmHwgrRU7eA7qMbT23UKTj5.png) ## Where can I learn more?
