PurePlay sets November 6 for early access

PurePlay has put a date on it. The Unreal Engine simulator's home page now says "Early Access opens November 6, 2026 at 5 PM Eastern," with a countdown, after weeks of listing only "November 2026." A closed beta with a small group of testers is already running.

What you get at early access

PurePlay's FAQ describes a yearly subscription for one PC. It covers course play on PurePlay's own library, practice tools and multiplayer, with leagues and tournaments on the roadmap. PurePlay has not published a price. It says you will see the exact figure, including any launch offer, at checkout before you pay. A retail listing at $299 a year has circulated, but PurePlay has not confirmed it, so treat that number as unverified.

The FAQ points to the company's Development Update No. 4 for exactly what ships at early access versus full public release. A companion phone and tablet app is targeted for roughly three months after launch.

Launch monitors

PurePlay says it officially supports nine brands today: Square Golf, Spectrum Element, ProTee VX, GolfJoy, VTrack, Nova, NVisage, Bullseye and Garmin. TrackMan, Foresight/Bushnell, Uneekor, FlightScope, SkyTrak and Rapsodo are not on the list. If you own one of those, wait for an official announcement rather than counting on a community connector.

PC requirements

It is Windows 10 or 11 only, with no Mac support at launch. You need 20GB of free space, TPM 2.0 enabled, and an internet connection to activate and check in at least once every seven days. PurePlay's minimum for 1080p is an RTX 3060 or RX 6750 XT with 16GB of memory. For 4K it recommends an RTX 3080 or better with 32GB.

Courses

PurePlay builds its courses by hand, using LiDAR drone mapping where a course needs it. Golfers can vote for courses on a map, and a course that signs PurePlay's one-page agreement goes into the build queue at no cost to the course. PurePlay has not published a full named course list, and community-built courses are planned for after launch.

The Perfect Lie's take

November 6 is a vendor target. Hold off on judging PurePlay until early-access builds are in owners' hands. The two questions to watch are the real price at checkout and whether the monitor list grows past nine.
