Headed into 2025, we plan to continue these types of efforts while also aiming to shift to smaller, more f |

This Developer Insights blog aims to shed light on how our PTS process works, from the version that we use internally to the final version that becomes the Live build and everything in between. In the past, Evil Mojo has discussed PTS and veteran players may know a lot of this info, however, we felt it was time for an updated rundown of how we utilize this for the modern team using Street Style: World Tour as an example. Internal Testing As many players know, we start to work on an update in a development build designed for rapid iteration and implementing things into Paladins on our own timescale. Often, smaller changes |

We're buffing it back to a place where it functions very similar to the previous version of the |
