Recently, Valve announced that they needed 5000 participants for a stress test for their upcoming Threadspace: Hyperbol. The company needs to see if the game can handle massive amounts of players and they need to test if the servers are up to the task. The lucky participants will also have the opportunity to play-test exclusive features for Threadspace.

Due for release in a few weeks on Steam, Threadspace: Hyperbol features intense, realtime action-strategy. Gamers must “...battle each other on roads in space as they pilot massive ships capable of firing a wide variety of weapons. Create defenses, coordinate with your team, and launch an assault against your opponents to achieve victory.”

Space is limited, so if you really want to dig your gaming skills into this action-strategy space game, you should drop by the Official Hyperbol Website. The Stress Test will run for one week, leading up to July 1st, so you better hurry if you want to get in on the action.
