Account creation is a prerequisite to playing online. Your account will have all of its stats, and eventually items, saved to it. Account creation may be done here or through the pop out nav found in the upper right corner. After account creation and email verificaton, you will specify an online display name that will be used as your login to the game. Your verified email address will be used for password recovery if needed. As a good security practice, you should specify a password that is not identifiable to other passwords you already use.

Once you have an account you will then need to download the client to connect to any ongoing games. The client may be downloaded as a separate standalone through the website, or may be downloaded through Steam. The client runs on any Windows 10 or 11 device including handhelds like the RoG-Ally. Support for Linux and MacOS may come in the future.

Once you've got an account and the client downloaded and up to date, you're ready to hop online for some action! Though is recommended you read up on some of the gameplay guides and other information that may be available so you have some understanding of the gameplay itself and of the different gameplay modes. Otherwise remember it will take some time to get up to the competition of existing players who have been at for some time. Many game vets are willing to help newcomers, and if you keep at it the end result is worth it!
