# Sign-up for the Kiln Beta!

January 22nd 2026

If you've come to this page, it means you're probably interested in signing up for the Kiln beta. We love that for you! We can't wait for you get your hands on [Kiln](https://www.doublefine.com/games/kiln) before most of the world does, and we also can't wait to see your beautiful ceramic creations.

(In the unlikely event you've stumbled onto this page by pure internet happenstance, and have no idea what Kiln is at all, we have all the details [right here on our announcement post](https://www.doublefine.com/news/announcing-our-new-game-kiln). Go ahead and take a gander, then come back to sign up with gusto!)

We know you probably have a lot of questions, such as:

1. "When is the first beta?"
2. "Which platforms will participate in the beta?"
3. "Is a hot dog technically a taco, or a sandwich?"

These folks obviously just signed up for the Kiln Beta. It's the only thing that can explain their rapturous joy!

To answer the first two questions: **We'll be sending more details out to anyone who signs up about future beta opportunities**, including dates, times, platforms, and recommended specs. All of those variables can change or shift based on the type of testing we need to do as we approach launch, so **we encourage you to sign up below and get notified when a test is announced.**   
  
**Ready to sign up? Great!**

We should note that this is ONLY signing up for the Kiln Beta Test program; you can sign up for our regular monthly newsletter ([Double Fine Action News](https://www.doublefine.com/news/newsletter)) if you're feeling extra excited about all things Double Fine.   
  
Lastly, there is *no way* we are going to officially weigh in on the technical classification of a hot dog. All we know is that they're delicious and we enjoy them very much!
