Valve has launched a new “Early Access” program for Steam that lets players purchase and immediately play select games still in development.

“A lot of games are already operating as ongoing services that grow and evolve with the involvement of customers and the community,” said Sean Pollman of Badland Studio. “Greenlight helped us raise awareness for Kinetic Void, and now Steam Early Access will let us continue the development of our game while gathering crucial feedback, input and support from the steam Community.”

Games already offering early access include Arma 3, StarForge, Kenshi, Gnomori, Prison Architect, and others.

The library is expected to continue expanding.
