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.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
