Holy War X testers: Premium, Capybara and how access works

Holy War X is played today only by its testers. Premium Tester went off sale on 5 April 2025, Capybara Testers are picked from that pool by application, and the developer says nobody needs to buy anything to play at release.

Checked 15 November 2026

The tiers

TierWhat it isOn sale
TesterThe regular package. Access to test periods and tester previews.Was still sold in May 2025; no later official word
Premium TesterThe larger package. Early access, items on updates and a special mount.No, since 5 April 2025
Capybara TesterThe active test team, chosen from Premium Testers by written application and a voice-chat stage.Never sold
ContributorA permanent tester rank given in 2022 for 100 Discord invites.Never sold

The names have shifted. In the Movie the developer says Premium Tester was renamed VIP; a Discord post two weeks later calls premiums MVP and regular testers VIP. The Roblox community still uses Tester and Premium Tester, so this page does too.

How many there are

The official Roblox community shows how many members hold each rank:

RankMembers, 15 November 2026
Premium Tester1,297

Capybara Tester87
Contributor31
Premium Contributor29

In October 2022 the developer capped Premium Tester at 300. The count has grown well past that through later sales and giveaways.

Can you still get in

Not by buying Premium Tester. Since it went off sale, spots have been handed out as prizes: in Discord giveaways, to creators' audiences, and in July 2025 to ten people picked from likes on the developer's Instagram posts. Tester packages were always sold by messaging named staff in the official Discord, never through a Roblox game pass. We did not find a price in any official post.

The developer's own advice, 28 March 2025:

You do NOT have to buy these bundles etc, the game is free on release for all to play. This just for people who are trying to help the project get a move along faster.

Experiences on Roblox that sell “early access” to Holy War X are not part of this. The real page and the look-alike.

What testers get

  • Early access before release, after the Capybara Testers.
  • Items on updates. The Movie describes Premium as “a package deal”: “constant free items on various different updates” that can be traded.
  • A mount. Premium Testers get a tradeable mount “that can go on water, fly and run on land too” (11 January 2024). Ships and mounts.
  • Extra spins at release, along with everyone else (30 April 2026).

The order of testing

From 24 July 2026: once Southern Britannia is complete the team wants “real proper stress tests with the capys, pts and then normal package users”. From 1 January 2026: premium testing, then early access, then release. Capybara Testers already play private builds; a week of PVE testing ran in early February 2026 and those testers were allowed to post footage.

How it got here

  • January 2022. First invite event: 15 invites to the Discord for Tester, 100 for Contributor.
  • May to October 2022. The Premium Tester cap rises from 60 to 80 and, by 27 October, to 300 as spots sell out.
  • July and August 2023. Roblox moderates the test place four times; each time the team is locked out of Studio for a day or two.
  • March 2024. Combat rework finished; premium combat testing promised.
  • March and April 2025. Capybara Tester applications open to premiums; Premium Tester goes off sale on 5 April.
  • February 2026. PVE testing week.
