  • @thefarsz So it's going to be a separate download. Thanks =]

  • I think beta will be available to download at 1pm on 23 January

  • @lizardwizard121 for Central European Time

  • And where will it be avaible? =)

  • @mistah-claun Ahoy there!

    They will show up on your console/PC automatically as they should automatically try to start downloading and install and you should receive a prompt telling you this.

    Failing that it should be available in the Store/My Games list to install manually.

  • The alpha game on my xbox One did a 7gb update the other day, i assumed this was in preparation for the beta but maybe i'm wrong?

  • @yubbyub The alpha build is used internally by the team and is always updated weekly even when there is no official play session going on.

  • @musicmee And by the founders, assuming the team are Rare employees. Or am I wrong?

  • @jcmdeadpool The team are Rare employees Founders are not currently testing any build but Pioneers are.

  • @yubbyub That's why I was asking. Mine also had an update. I figured it was for the beta.

  • @musicmee Thanks for clarifying. =)

  • @major-sousa how can i become technical alpha member??

  • The beta is an update of the technical alpha version

  • @kitty-terminal You don't anymore. The only way to play the beta if you were never an alpha player is to pre-order the game to get access.

  • I'm assuming the first wave of players to get in will be all the previous alpha players, waves will be let in by increments.

  • @chosen-predator Not at all, all players will be treated equally. You can see what times you will be able to log into the beta using the link below.

  • @musicmee Oh interesting I was just assuming they were going to let people in via waves because the recent tavern talk he mention about making people come in by waves, so it's basically a free for all that day :P lol

  • @chosen-predator It sure is :) Hopefully, the servers keep up and everything turns out ship shape...
