Planet Coaster is now available for Pre-Order on Steam!

You are currently hammered on Steam for false advertising, since in the Store page (the proper place to give the information to customers) you do not state clearly when the Beta is coming.
I know that you made a news thread for this, but this is something that the customers see AFTER they pre-order, thinking that they have access.
Adjust the product page fast, you are losing goodwill by the bucketload due to this.

The Thrillseeker Edition contains the game, extras, and includes access to the Beta when it is released... hopefully around November 2016. It does not contain access to Alpha 3 I'm afraid, it is no longer possible to join the Alpha stage.

The beta comes out the same month as the full release? That seems odd.
Regarding those extras, will the soundtrack be MP3 only or is it available in a lossless format like FLAC? That's important for my decision for which version I want to buy [happy]
Most likely MP3 as it is the most iconic file type for sounds and music.
Well, Elite: Dangerous got its soundtrack released as FLAC, but I'll wait for official response regarding the format [big grin]

That's right; Planet Coaster beta will be early November 2016. The final release date of Planet Coaster will be November 17, 2016.
Oh sweet !! We get to play it early before the official release haha
I clearly don't see the point of having the beta one or two week before the release... What a weird idea.
Two weeks does seem a short period, considering Alpha1>2 was 2 mths......Alpha 2>3 was a 3mth time difference, I think a early/mid Oct beta release would be better served.........only because I want to play it sooner rather than later [big grin]
Because between Alphas new features/code were being added, beta I guess will just be to test for any (mostly minor) bugs before the game officially releases. Of course these can still be updated post-release. They've got 6 or so more weeks to get everything added, seems they're going to need that [cool]

Thank you Angelis; that is a clear overview of the Planet Coaster editions and extras.
Hi Angelis.
Thank you for this nice overview but I think it isn't 100% accurate yet. All orders before the 25th of August (thus in the Frontier Store, not on Steam) were upgraded to the Thrillseeker edition. This includes the original standard pre-order (absent from the overview) as well as the Coaster Head Club Edition. So beta access and the other perks (gold mascot, gold avatar hat, sketchbook, soundtrack) are in these editions as well.

PS: the gold avatar hat is also included in the current pre-order edition
