Set 8 is coming to an end soon, and details about Set 8.5 are starting to emerge with more precise dates. While there is no official announcement yet regarding the availability of Set 8.5 on PBE, it can be estimated by following the trend of updates on the game. Teamfight Tactics Set 8, the popular board game from Riot Games, is a huge success. However, fans are already looking towards TFT Set 8.5, which is expected to be released in Spring 2023.
Before being released on live servers, TFT updates are tested on a test server called PBE. To allow everyone to perform extensive testing and for Riot Games to fix any potential issues, the testing duration is 2 to 3 weeks. Even though Riot Games has not made an official announcement yet, speculation about the PBE release date of Set 8.5 is very optimistic. Generally, new sets are released about three to four months after the previous release.
The battle pass ends on March 14, 2023, which suggests that TFT Set 8.5 will be released around March 15, 2023. However, this schedule has not been confirmed by the developers, so it is simply based on the historical trend of TFT.
As a reminder, Teamfight Tactics or TFT is a strategic game mode within League of Legends, developed and published by Riot Games in 2019. In this game mode, eight players compete by choosing and upgrading champions to form a team that automatically fights against the other players' teams.
