The team that brought you Borderlands has been hard at work creating the all-new hero shooter Battleborn, releasing February 9, 2016, but a select group of gamers won’t have to wait that long to play. Starting on October 29th we will be conducting a series of Closed Technical Tests to balance characters, stress servers, squash bugs, and test the online infrastructure – and we need your help!
The Closed Technical Test will take place on PS4, XBOX ONE, and PC. If you’re interested in helping us test out Battleborn and want to be one of the first people in the world to get their hands on this new breed of first-person shooters, you can register by going to

NOTE ABOUT PARTICIPATION: Participants are selected on a number of criteria based on the needs for testing, including (but not limited to) platform preference, location and availability. The Closed Technical Test file download will require between 4GB to 8 GB of space depending on your gaming platform. If you’re planning to play on PC, your system will need to meet the minimum PC specs for the Closed Technical Test, which can be found here, or at the bottom of this message.
LEGAL NOTE: Look, we don’t like having to include legal stuff anymore than you like reading it. That said, here’s the deal: Before the test begins and you are allowed to download the game, you will be prompted to accept a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). By accepting the NDA you are agreeing that you will not… •Capture gameplay footage;

We get it, you’re excited – but we’re still very much working on Battleborn and things will change before the game ships in February. Please be cool. Don’t record, stream or talk about the Closed Technical Test. Still want to talk about the game? Awesome – talk with us! We will have a private forum for technical test participants to provide feedback on their experiences and discuss the game privately with other test participants.
From everyone at Gearbox and 2K, we really value your input and hope that you’ll join us in testing Battleborn!
