New design of the in-game interface
Hello!
We are working on improving the Crossout in-game interface. There are lots of changes planned for it, so we would like to invite you to the testing server to explore and familiarise yourself with the new interface. Your feedback will help the development.
We would like to note that, unlike the new Blueprints tab, this update does not significantly change the user experience. The changes are primarily aimed at creating a more cohesive visual experience for the entire in-game interface.
We remind you that all the new features described in this news are not final and may be changed before they are introduced into the game or may not make it into the game at all. You can see all the planned changes in more detail on the special testing server.
During testing, various errors may occur, and the interface itself may not have its final appearance in some places. Please let us know about any such issues. We greatly appreciate your feedback.
Changes
We have completely revamped the style of the entire game interface. This has given Crossout a new, modern, and airy look, as well as a clean interface structure “under the hood”. All of this will help us to improve this part of the game more effectively in the future. The new dark colour scheme will also better highlight the sandy and rusty theme of the harsh Wasteland. Additionally, it will improve the readability of text and some in-game elements.
In general, all buttons and functions remain in their familiar spots and are activated using the same keys. The only noticeable change is the entire top panel in the Garage. This arrangement of elements looks more harmonious and also makes it easier to switch and select tabs using the controller.
Additionally, various hotkeys have been added for the keyboard and controller for faster and more convenient navigation of the interface. This is especially noticeable in the menu when pressing “Esc”.
The Factions section in the Workbenches tab has been completely redesigned. Now it is easier to navigate and explore the diverse clans of the Wasteland, as well as the rewards for levelling up faction reputation.
That is all, survivors. Once again, we invite you to test the new features for yourself. Your feedback will help us improve the new interface and prepare it for the final release.
This interface update forms the basis for further development and improvement. The next stages will focus on improving functionality and usability, while maintaining the traditional, simple visual standard.
How to get to the test server?
If you have already participated in testing on a special server, then it will be enough to start the Launcher from the folder with the test client and wait for the update to complete.
- Download the launcher using the link below, depending on your publisher. Running this launcher will automatically start the installation of the version of the game client used for mass testing.
- Choose a folder to install the testing game client and decide if you wish to create a desktop icon for it.
- After the installation is complete, and all files are downloaded, run the game client using either the desktop icon or launcher.exe in the test game client folder, and then log into the game using your username and password.
- The whole progress of your main account will be transferred to the test server (including parts in storage and levels of reputation in factions).
- If you had not already done it before, you will need to transfer progress from your account after logging into the test server: press the “Esc” key and select “Copy account data”.
- Please note the schedule of the test server:
- Friday, February 27, 2026: from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
- Saturday, February 28, 2026: from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
- Sunday, March 1, 2026: from 13:00 to 19:00 (GMT)
- Any progress you make on the test server will not be transferred to the live game servers (INCLUDING ATTEMPTS TO BUY PACKS).
The public test server is intended only for testing of the upcoming update and may not accommodate all players without exception. However, absolutely anyone can join the server, as long as there are free spots.
