Wonder what their criteria was. Got an invite today.

Was there anyplace to signup or just rando invites? Im assuming rando based on something

Random for me. I'd bet it's based off having played other similar games like TF2 for a significant amount of time.

Do you mind if I ask how many hours you've put into TF2? I hope you enjoy the beta.

Honestly don't recall and can't look. But it's a lot. Lot of hours into the various CS games too.

Someone on your friends who has it randomly invited you. You used to need someone's email and steam account to invite them now you can just invite anyone in your friends with a clock of a button. I went and invited all my friends I thought might be interested without telling them.

Asked all my friends and I'm the first to get one.

Edit: Just looked again. My invite says From - The Steam Team.

It says that regardless of who invites you. Someone on your friends lkst doesn't want you to know they gave it :)

It feels random, I don't have VR or play any similar games, none of my friends invited me or play it themselves, nor do they play those types of games either.

My guess is it was a shotgun invite to get momentum and play testing.
