Want in on that Dark Souls 2 beta? Well From Software just posted how to get in on it. The beta for the time being is exclusive to the Playstation 3 platform, which appears to be lead platform despite the developer suggesting PC was lead.
First of all, the requirements for the beta:
・Entrants must own a PlayStation®3 that is connected to the Internet.
・They must have a Sony Entertainment Network account.
・They must actively participate in the testing and report any issues they encounter.
・They must be at least 18 years old.
・They must agree to the Terms of Use for the network test version of Dark Souls II.* The network test version of the game requires approximately 3,7GB of free space. Please ensure that you have enough space on your hard disk.
Entry instructions:
・You do not need to apply for the Dark Souls II Network Test.
・Select players will receive a message from Sony Computer Entertainment America through the PlayStation 3 XMB with a download code prior to the Network Test.
・The Dark Souls II Closed Beta Test download will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
・The initial Dark Souls II Network Testing round that commences on 10/12 will accommodate up to 5000 players; a larger participant pool will be opened for a later testing round on 10/26.
・More information will be shared in the future regarding the timing of the XMB messages and the Network Test download availability.
The entry instructions are kind of vague on to how you actually apply for the beta, rather how are these 5000 players selected if you don’t apply at all? Either way From Software is suggesting to follow the Dark Souls Facebook page as more detailed instructions will arise over time.
