If you don't know what the experimental version of the game is or what the difference between early access and experimental is, pretty simple.
Experimental is basically where we push our updates to early, but it might be unstable.
So that's our unstable version of the game.
And early access is our stable version of the game after we've stabilized things on experimental.
Everyone who owns Satisfactory has access to the experimental version, so if you own the game on the Epic Store, you'll actually just have two versions of the game right there in your library.
One will be Satisfactory Early Access, the other will be Satisfactory Experimental.
And on Steam, if you want to access Experimental, you need to find Satisfactory in your Steam library.
Right-click on it, go to Properties, go to the Betas tab, and there'll be a drop-down box with Experimental in it.
Just select that, and it'll download the experimental version, or select None if you want to go back to the Early Access version.
a word of warning though is that whenever you make the switch be sure to back up your save files because if you play on experimental which is a newer version and you play there you save but you run into issues want to go back to early access for stability reasons your save file might not be compatible anymore okay so make sure you back up your saves
