Krafton does not let the audience forget about PUBG: Black Budget. The studio has announced plans to conduct a second closed alpha test of its action shooter, and registration for participation is already available directly on Steam.
No specific dates have been announced yet, but the very fact of the announcement suggests that the developers are moving forward according to plan. The application can be submitted through the game’s page, just as it worked before the first test in December 2025.

Streaming and recording without an NDA: what is allowed to test participants
Important detail: the non-disclosure agreement does not apply to the participants again. This means that gameplay can be freely recorded, streamed, and published — without any restrictions. The same approach was used in December.
Judging by the first impressions of the journalists who played Black Budget back in the first alpha, the project was remembered for its unusual combination of mechanics and the feeling that the game has the potential to grow into something serious. A few months have passed — Krafton probably managed to rework some of the content based on feedback.
It is not yet known exactly when the test will start. Stay tuned for updates on the game’s Steam page.
