Scrap Daddies Launches Closed and Open Betas This January Ahead of Early Access
Scrap Daddies Sets Sail With Two Betas This Month Ahead of Early Access
January is shaping up to be a busy month for fans of chaotic co-op shooters. Scrap Daddies, the vibrant new looter-shooter from Other Ocean Interactive, is going live with two beta tests this month, giving players an early chance to help shape the game before its Early Access launch.
If you have been looking for something fast, colourful, and unapologetically frantic, now is the time to jump in. Sign-ups are still open on Steam by requesting access directly from the game’s store page.
Closed Beta: January 9–11
The first test phase begins with a Closed Beta running from January 9 to January 11. A select group of players will be invited to dive into Scrap Daddies early, putting its looting, shooting, and submersible chaos through its paces.
During the Closed Beta, players will see an in-game survey asking what worked, what did not, and which moments stood out most. This feedback is not just for show. Other Ocean has made it clear that player impressions will directly influence tuning and balance as development continues.
Open Beta: January 15–18
Following closely behind, the Open Beta runs from January 15 to January 18, opening the floodgates to everyone.
This phase is all about scale and shared chaos. Players are encouraged to bring friends, squad up, and experience the game’s frenetic energy together. Once again, feedback will be closely reviewed as the team prepares for the next major milestone.
For many players, this Open Beta will be the first real taste of what Scrap Daddies is aiming to become.
Early Access Is on the Horizon
Once the Open Beta wraps up, Other Ocean will shift focus toward the game’s full Early Access launch. A release date announcement is expected soon, and players interested in joining from day one are encouraged to wishlist the game on Steam.
Betas like these are a strong signal that the team is listening early and building alongside its community, an approach that has served many successful Early Access titles well over the years.

A Promising Start for Scrap Daddies
By opening development to players early, Scrap Daddies is positioning itself as a game shaped by community feedback rather than after-the-fact fixes. Two betas in one month is a confident move, and one that suggests Other Ocean is serious about getting the feel just right before Early Access begins.
If chaotic co-op shooters are your kind of thing, this is a playtest worth diving into.
