Gears Of War 4 Open Beta Now Live
XBox Live Gold members, the time is now. Gears of War 4 is now testing its multiplayer through a free beta which you can download this minute. Play with JD Fenix and any of his three other compatriots against The Swarm. You’ll be hunting bugs both in the maps and in the glitch sense, so the actual game won’t ship infested with them. (That’s the idea, anyway….The Division had a beta as well.)
To hype up this beta, Microsoft has a new trailer out showing the environments you’ll get to mess around in, set to the melody of “Nobody Speak” by DJ Shadow featuring Run the Jewels. Check that out below.
This beta will remain open for about a week, closing on May 1. Those who partcipate will get a little something for their efforts: the Vintage Kait character will be instantly unlocked in the full game, which launches in October. But you can’t get it if you don’t play!
