All right Hunters (and Monsters), listen up.
The Evolve Open Beta is going to be taking place on Xbox One from January 15th to January 19th, 2015. Although the Open Beta is an Xbox One exclusive, we will also be conducting closed technical tests on PC and PlayStation 4 during this time.
Just a head's up: the tests are limited in scope and will not include Evacuation or have Hunter and Monster unlocks carry over to Evolve’s launch.
Here’s how this works: If you took part in (read: were invited into) the Big Alpha back in October, then you will be eligible to participate in the closed technical tests. Also: If you own either Left 4 Dead or BioShock Infinite in your Steam library, you'll be eligible to participate in the tests.
Below are the relevant details, broken up by platform:
PC
On January 16th, closed technical tests for Evolve will begin on PC. If you were invited to the Big Alpha on this platform, you’ll have access to these technical tests.
These tests are limited in scope and will not include the Evacuation mode, nor will they have the Hunter and Monster unlocks carry over to Evolve’s launch on February 10th. Additionally, no in-game badges, skins, or medals will be awarded to anyone taking part in the tests.
