Titanfall multiplayer ‘Alpha Trial’ invites go out for Xbox One

Add as a preferred source on Google

Check out our review of Titanfall.

You might have woken up to a mysterious email this morning from Electronic Arts containing an “exclusive invitation” to an “Xbox One Alpha Trial” for a game that turns out to be Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall. Try to contain your excitement. The “Alpha Trial,” which is probably more of a multiplayer beta test with a fancy name, hasn’t actually started yet.

Follow the link in the email and you’re taken to a section of the official Titanfall website. After signing into your Origin account – yes, you’ll need one for this – you’re presented with a brief questionnaire asking for your name, email, phone number, and a couple of other details. Complete that and you get a message letting you know that you’ll be informed when the test kicks off. Here it is verbatim:

“Congratulations, your application to participate is complete. If you are selected to take part in our upcoming test, you will receive an email in the coming weeks with a unique code and instructions on how to download and access the game on Xbox One. Thank you!”

There’s no timetable for when the trial will kick off, but you can bet that it’ll happen before March 11. Since that’s when the game comes out and stuff.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention. 

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
