Stress Test Windows and Access
Practical Basketball is currently in the Stress Test 3 phase, meaning access is limited to scheduled windows rather than always-on play. Watch the Discord announcements channel for exact timings, and queue early since servers cap at fifty players each. Track the latest schedule using the Stress Test 3 page so you never miss a session.
During windows, expect balance tweaks and UI updates as the team gathers performance data. Report bugs through the Discord support channel to help shape the final release, and stay informed via the is it out tracker so you know when the game transitions to a wider launch with full availability across every platform.
Queue with friends whenever possible during windows, since coordinated squads gain a real edge in fifty-player lobbies. Use the Discord LFG channels to find squadmates before each session, then expand your squad using the how to join guide to build a reliable group for every stress test window you plan to play.
