Tech Test 3 started June 29, 2026 — and it's the first test Good Fun Corporation lets players show publicly. In their own words: "the community will finally have the opportunity to show Hunger publicly." Earlier tests were kept under wraps, so when TT3 opened, streams and videos appeared everywhere at once. That wave of footage looks like a launch — it isn't one. The Steam page still says "Coming soon" and nothing is purchasable on Steam or Epic.
Participation is limited and wave-based — GFC says numbers and distribution are "guided by the specific systems we are evaluating": regional coverage, matchmaking, server performance, latency.
It follows Tech Test 2 and is officially expected to be "the largest influx of new players" the game has had so far.
