As part of the final ICARUS Beta Weekend, developer RocketWerkz is holding both a graphics card giveaway and two game-related competitions: a Best Photo competition, and a Best Build competition. To aid Prospectors in capturing their work, Beta Weekend 7 will launch with a new Photo Mode, as well as NVIDIA’s RTX Global Illumination tech.
