PlayStation’s first real shot at cracking into the live-service world will be the competitive shooter Concord. The game features a cast of (literally) colorful characters, and the gameplay shown off so far appears to take a lot of inspiration from the hero shooter genre. Nailing that balance of such distinct characters, weapons, and abilities is tough, plus Concord isn’t going the free-to-play route like many other live-service games. Thankfully, we are getting the chance to test out the game before putting our money down. If you and your friends want to feel this game out before launch, here’s how you can get beta access.

How to join the Concord beta

There are technically two ways to get into the Concord beta. The first is to preorder either version of the game from PlayStation. Either one will let you join the beta when it starts in July. Not only that, but you will also get three more beta codes to share with your friends.

If you don’t want to put money down on a preorder, there is technically another way to get access. Since every individual who preorders gets three codes to share, all you need to do is convince a friend to preorder the game and share a code with you.

You do also get a few nice preorder bonuses. Concord launches on August 23, 2024.

How to sign up for the Elden Ring Nightreign beta test

The announcement of Elden Ring Nightreign came as a major shock during The Game Awards 2024. Not only did we think Shadow of the Erdtree would be the last time we were in The Lands Between but it was also felt too soon after its release to see anything new from FromSoftware. Elden Ring Nightreign isn't more DLC but a standalone co-op experience set in a parallel world to Elden Ring that takes a lot of cues from battle royales and extraction shooters. If that sounds interesting, or perhaps confusing, here's how you can sign up for the beta to test it out early.
