When will the Unity Play Test version be available on Steam? I currently have an Ultimate version purchased through Steam and when I attempt to buy the Ultimate version of Unity there is no discount showing in the shopping cart. Do I have to wait for a Steam version or is there another way to get the 40% discount added to my purchase?

You will have to wait for the Steam version. There are some hoops to be jumped through to get it onto Steam.

You have to wait for the Steam version to be made available. Their is an issue with "third party keys" that is being worked on. As soon as it is resolved FGU beta will be available on Steam. No timeline.

It’s not just third party keys; but we’re working hard on this too. A lot to juggle right now...

I already have. The open beta was not announced via the newsletter. I'd assume a communication would be posted on the Kickstarter similar to the open beta, but would like a developer to confirm if possible.

The developers are exceedingly busy right now. Why do we not ask them to do more and just check the Kickstarter as needed?

No harm in asking. They can answer if possible, otherwise I'll just check the Kickstarter now and then.

The newsletter will generally have this type of info. It's rare for the weekly newsletter to announce releases like this ahead of time. I would imagine that the newsletter this week will give info about the FGU beta.

We'll definitely be announcing when the FGU Steam Early Access version is ready via the newsletter and all our media channels. I know that Doug is pushing hard to get all the hurdles crossed to get that going.

Last post to this thread was 3 months ago. Has there been any further news about when Unity will be available on Steam?

Doug Davison mentioned an ETA of July in the Fantasy Grounds Friday on June 19th. They're waiting on Steam to modify their system to allow users to own DLC across both FGU and FGC.

In the Steam Community, there was a message (linked above)

Steam/Valve has been working with us on this and they expect to have a way for us to share the DLC across both platforms, while still allowing us to publish some DLC for just one of the two platforms. If you own a DLC for FGC that is compatible with FGU (everything so far), then you will automatically show that you own it for FGU as well.

Aside from waiting for that, we also want to knock out a few more performance issues we are having in Early Access for FGU before we release here. It runs well for many users despite not being optimized for performance yet, but for other users with decent hardware it is still a very poor experience that could be considered unplayable. It's not good for us to launch with too many users having that experience.
