Want a beta key for LittleBigPlanet Karting? Read on! (Updated — We are out of codes!)

By Ryan Fleming July 24, 2012

Although we don’t yet have a firm release date for LittleBigPlanet Karting other than 2012, United Front Games has had enough of the game completed to offer playable demos as far back as April, not long after the title was first announced. It was only available to a small group under regulated conditions, always under the watchful eye of United Front, but that time has now passed and LBP Karting is growing up fast and ready to take its first steps into the big world.

SCEA and United Front have begun a brief beta test for the game, and we have keys to give away. The beta will only last until Tuesday, July 31, but in order to receive a code and try the game out, all you need to do is post a comment below and tell us what your favorite racing/karting game of all time is. The first ten commenters will receive a beta code via email!

The offer is open to North American residents only.

Thanks for everyone that posted! We are now out of codes, but keep an eye out for the next giveaway, which will be posted later today.

Every rumored video game console: Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 Pro and more

A PS5 sits on a table.

History would tell you that 2024 isn't a year where you should expect a lot of new game consoles. We're smack dab in the middle of a console generation and we've already seen the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S get upgrades during it. A wave of brand new consoles is likely four years away if the precedent set by previous generations holds up.

And yet, we're swimming in hardware rumors these days. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all have rumored systems in the works. On top of that, we're on the verge of an early second generation for portable PCs like the Steam Deck. Companies like Lenovo and Asus are also plotting follow-ups to their own devices. It's a lot to keep track of, with scattered reports sharing rumors about the status of each. To help you stay on top of the news, we've rounded up every major gaming device that's currently in the works. You can expect to see some -- if not all -- of these in the next year.
