Trackmania and Shootmania open betas now available on Steam

Trackmania Stadium - the latest version of Nadeo's popular racing game - entered open beta yesterday, following in Shootmania Storm's footsteps two weeks ago. And if you're the kind of person who likes to keep all your games in one place there is extra good news, as both open betas are now also available on Steam!




Stadium and Storm are both fully integrated with Nadeo's ManiaPlanet, which allows players to create and share custom game modes, custom skins and replays with friends and strangers across the globe. These features aren't available to people playing for free however - although you can pre-purchase both Trackmania Stadium and Shootmania Storm to gain access right away.

Of course, being on Steam means we can't guarantee they won't affect your quota, so it's lucky we already have the Shootmania Storm open beta in our downloads library - and check back later as we are working on getting the Trackmania Stadium open beta added as well! Are you a fan of the ManiaPlanet games? I'm still waiting for that RPG one they were coming out with, although I can't fathom how it works. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
