May 10, 2026 — some dev accidentally pushed 155 GB of unencrypted game files to Steam as a preload update.
No Denuvo, no encryption, fully playable.
The official "Premium Early Access" costs $70 and starts May 15.
The accidental leak costs $0 and already worked May 10.
(Minus the online multiplayer. And possibly your Steam account.)
Reddit's 2,694-upvote thread on r/gaming got DMCA'd within hours.
No statement from Playground Games or Xbox as of today.
The only official move: take down the post.
The most-upvoted reaction from r/pcgaming:
"so the early early access costs 120€ less but is missing the multiplayer"
That's the whole story.
Someone at that studio is having a very bad week.

What would you do — wait for the real release, or skip the multiplayer?
