What is the goal of the Public Test Realm?
Wildcard is kicking off a Discord Voice Chat Public Test Realm at <t:1771354800:t> to put the new Discord voice chat integration through its paces. This is the plugin that will power ASA's in-game voice, and we want to make sure you’ll sound your best when it goes live on the main network.
To properly put it through its paces, they need a busy server of play testers. The more voices, callouts, and coordinated chatter, the better.
If you’re interested in helping Wildcard shape ASA’s in-game voice experience, you can pre-download the build by activating a beta branch of the game. Full instructions for accessing a beta branch can be found below. Once the testing is live at 11am Pacific, join “PublicTestRealm” then head over to #ptr-discussion further info from the QA team and to leave your voice chat related reports and feedback.
You (10 People) have a chance to receive your choice of a Lost Colony or Tides of Fortune key (when it launches) as a thank-you for participating.

How do I join the new Public Test Realm Server?
You will need to be running the steam version of Ark Survival Ascended as you will be activating a beta branch of the game.
1: Open your steam Library and right click on Ark Survival Ascended, then click "Properties"
2: Navigate to the "Game Versions & Betas" tab on the menu that will have appeared.
3: Select the "PublicTestRealm" from the Selected Game version on the right.
Doing this will cause your game to download an update which will then patch and update your game. You would need to follow these steps if you choose to leave the beta program.
You can then join the officially hosted server which can be found on the UNOFFICIAL TAB named "ASA Public Test Realm Server"
