The beta for Concord will be available in two stages, early access and open beta. The early access period of this beta will take place the week prior to its wider release.
If you want to take part in the early access then you can earn access by either pre-ordering Concord or being a PlayStation Plus member.
Members of PlayStation Plus will automatically have access to the beta early access and can simply download and install the game right now.
If you’re on PC then you can gain access by pre-ordering the game. When you do this you’ll also receive four codes to share with friends allowing them access to the beta, so if you know someone who has pre-ordered then you can always ask them for access that way. While the game does allow for cross-play the codes delivered upon pre-order will be for the same platform.
When the open beta begins anybody can simply download the game and give it a try.
Concord Beta Early Access Date & Times
Concord will be available to play in early access on either July 12 or 13 depending on your geographical location. The beta will have a global rollout, so if you’re looking to jump into the action as soon as you can, here’s the important time to note down.
