Participation is voluntary. Loyalty is expected. Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Gaming Minds Studios announce the Closed Beta for Tropico 7, inviting a limited number of selected players to help shape, build, and politely endorse the future of El Presidente’s newest regime ahead of its planned 2026 release.
The Closed Beta begins on March 31, 2026, on Steam and Xbox PC for two weeks. The playtest focuses on gathering feedback on core gameplay systems, political mechanics, and two selected campaign parts from the Colonial Times and World Wars and two scenario missions in the Cold War and Modern Times. The Closed Beta supports English and German text.

El Prez opens applications today until March 22. Selected participants will receive an invitation, followed by Closed Beta access keys and entry to the Discord testing mandate channel (If you do not have a Discord account, El Prez adds that you have no right to vote… uh, participate in the test) – where all opinions will be carefully reviewed by the authorities.
Tropico 7 is scheduled for release 2026 and will be available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation®5.
