Microsoft says the second wave of invites will go out between January 13 and January 17. All fans of the game that registered for Tech Alpha 1 Wave 1, but didn't get selected, need to make sure to keep an eye on their inbox for an invite.

Microsoft is also in the final testing phase for Tech Alpha 2 and expects to have the build ready to release "shortly." The timeline for Tech Alpha 2 is currently set to begin sending invitations on January 20. All Tech Alpha 2 invites will be sent by January 27, and on that date, the Tech Alpha 2 game will be ready for download, and build access email will go out. By January 31, all Wave 1 Tech Alpha 2 emails will be sent.
