Soulframe: Preludes 15 promotional artwork, not Preludes 17. Digital Extremes.
Soulframe opened its free PC alpha on November 6. Find out how to join Open Preludes without an invitation and what changed in Preludes 17.
Digital Extremes, the studio behind Warframe, opened free access to Soulframe’s alpha for all Windows PC players on Friday, November 6, 2026. This stage, called Open Preludes, is available without an invitation.
The start of public access was confirmed in the official announcement published on November 6. The game is still in development: opening up the alpha is not the same as a full launch.
How can you play Soulframe for free?
To take part, visit the official Soulframe website and create an account. Then open the Windows download page, download the launcher, and follow the installation instructions.
You do not need an invitation or a Founders Pack. Those packs are optional. For now, the alpha is accessed through the official PC client; the game’s Steam page is for wishlisting, not for joining this testing phase.
What is Soulframe?
Soulframe is a fantasy action RPG from Digital Extremes, the studio that also created Warframe. The adventure takes place in the world of Alca, particularly on the island of Midrath, where exploration and combat are tied to restoring regions affected by corruption.
Players progress through story quests known as Fables, develop their equipment, and form bonds with creatures called Omen Beasts. Progression also unlocks social features, including cooperative play.
What changes with Verse of the Veilands?
The Preludes 17: Verse of the Veilands update is already available. Its main system involves reclaiming corrupted regions of Midrath by completing objectives called Votives and destroying devices known as Ode’n Syphons.
The update also lets you turn the wolf pup into an Omen Wolf mount after meeting progression requirements, including restoring two regions. Another addition is the Ode Shrike Pact, which provides trap-related abilities and special attacks. There are also changes to exploration and new activities.
As Soulframe remains in alpha, players may encounter bugs and changes to balance or progression. Digital Extremes will keep adjusting the game based on community feedback.
