Want to know when a playtest session opens? Leave your email and we will send you an invite with the dates and the download link. The playtest is a direct download for Windows, not a Steam playtest.
We store your email, name and language only to send you a playtest invite, and delete them 12 months after you sign up at the latest. To have them deleted sooner, email hello@tankrite.com.
We will email you when your playtest invite is ready. Nothing else: no newsletter, no ads.
Jump into a battle in seconds, grab supplies, chase the gold drop and push the flag home with your team. Every hull and turret plays differently, every map has shortcuts to find, and every online match pays you toward your next upgrade.
Tanks climb over each other, flip off ramps, ride walls and launch off kickers. Light tanks can pull recoil flips, a boosted loop turns you upside down, and heavy tanks make a very good step.
Progress, Scraps and ranks are earned in real online battles. Practice against bots any time: it's free, but it doesn't pay.
Jump pads, drawbridges, seesaws, wrecking balls, tunnels under the map, walls you can blast open, tar pits and smoke. Weather and seasons change the battlefield, from summer dust to winter snow and night battles.

Tankrite has an app on Steam (2075030). The store page is not public yet; once it is, you can wishlist the game there. Early Access is planned on Steam.
Seven hulls are in the garage: Dart and Manta (light), Keel and Stag (medium), Anvil and Sledge (heavy) and the super-heavy Bunker. Beetle and Tortoise are next. Each hull handles differently, and old saves were moved over automatically.
Yes. Tankrite is free to play during Early Access and will stay free after. We plan to sell optional cosmetic items only.
No. The store will only sell cosmetics. Scraps, upgrades and ranks are earned by playing online, and reward crates are free after online matches, never sold and need no keys.

Always online. Needs the Microsoft WebView2 Runtime (built into Windows 11 and most Windows 10 PCs; the playtest download includes an installer). A "Potato" preset helps older PCs. These are estimates from our test PCs; we will confirm them before Early Access.
No. Tankrite is a Windows game. The playtest is a direct download; Early Access is planned on Steam. It needs an internet connection to play online.
We plan to open the first playtest in autumn 2026. It is a direct download for Windows (the Download button at the top of this page), not a Steam playtest. Sign up with your email on this page and we will email you when a test session opens. The first playtest has a smaller set of maps; ranked play, tournaments and community contests come later.
Download the zip, unzip it into a folder of your choice and start Tankrite.exe from there. Windows may warn about an unknown app the first time. If the menu stays empty, run "Install WebView2.cmd" from the same folder once. Then create your account in the game. Found a bug? Press F8.
English, German and Russian.
Not yet: Tankrite needs a mouse and keyboard for now. Controller support is planned for Early Access. Linux and Steam Deck are untested.
