Developers of SAND have shared a press release outlining the game's overall concept and key gameplay moments. They have also presented a teaser featuring actual gameplay footage at the tinyBuild Connect event. SAND is a PvPvE game where players control giant mechanical walkers called Tramplers. This setup has drawn comparisons to the popular cooperative pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, though the setting is a desert rather than the ocean, and players navigate Tramplers instead of ships.

The game features a procedurally-generated, devastated planet as its map, where players must survive, fight rival factions, and raid using their Tramplers. The ultimate goal is to find valuable resources and escape the dying world.

The first SAND beta is scheduled for this summer, and players can already sign up on the game's Steam page. Fans on social media platform X have joked that SAND reminds them of "Sea of Thieves". Access to the beta can be obtained through the Steam store. Under the "Add to Wishlist" button, there will be a bold option to "Request Access". Upon approval, players will receive a notification on their account.
