To take part in the Public Test for Valheim Mistlands, players must first own a copy of the game. Players can buy the game on PC either through Steam or the Microsoft Store. Game Pass owners can also download the game for free. Once players own the game, they can then take part in the Public Test using the following steps:

Steam: Players can right-click Valheim on their Steam Library, then click on Properties. Once there, click the Betas tab, and input “yesimadebackups” in the betas code input. This will give access to the public-test beta. Select this beta, then download the game. If the game is already downloaded, there will be a small update to add the Mistlands update.
Microsoft Store/Game Pass: Players must launch the Xbox Insider Hub app. Once there, Navigate to Previews, then find Valheim Public Test. Join the test, wait for the registration to complete, then download the game.

It is highly recommended that players back their worlds and characters up before taking part in the test. This is because this version of the game is unstable, and may cause bugs that could potentially harm your saves. Should players have any feedback, they can post about them on the Valheim Discord server or on the Steam subforum.
