## Launch timing and beta history  
Big Boot Games announced that Meteora will ship on PC via Steam on June 30, following a closed‑beta that began on April 20 2022 [8]. The beta gave players early access to over 50 levels of high‑speed space racing and survival action, and a free‑to‑play demo remains on the store page for anyone interested in testing the game ahead of the full launch [5][7]. The June 30 launch coincides with the game’s earlier accolades, including the Upcoming Game of the Year award at IGDC 2019 and nominations at several 2020 showcases [7].

## Community and promotional push  
Steam’s store page lists the game in multiple languages, indicating a broad international rollout [2][4]. The developers have encouraged players to add the title to their wish‑lists and to explore the demo, a strategy that typically boosts pre‑launch visibility on the platform. In addition to the demo, promotional material such as a teaser trailer released in June highlights the game’s blend of classic arcade inspiration and modern visual style [6].

## What to watch  
- Steam wish‑list count as a proxy for launch‑day demand.  
- Player reviews on the demo page once the full game releases on June 30.  
- Any post‑launch updates or patches announced by Big Boot Games, especially those that add new levels or mechanics.

Meteora’s entry onto Steam marks the culmination of a multi‑year development cycle, moving from closed beta to full release while leveraging community engagement tools to drive early interest. The upcoming launch will reveal whether the game can translate its niche arcade appeal into sustained player traction.
