PSA: The Star Wars Battlefront Open Beta Is Now Available
After a couple days of closed beta, the Star Wars Battlefront is now opening up, allowing all who have a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC to download and play. Also part of the beta experience is the Star Wars Battlefront Companion app, which allows you to earn in-game credits and unlock weapons and more in Star Wars Battlefront.
The beta test includes three modes: Drop Zone, Walker Assault, and Survival. Drop Zone is a firefight where Imperial troops and Rebels face off to capture drop pods that spawn around the map. Walker Assault is a 40-player battle where the Rebel side must take down an Imperial AT-AT before it destroys its objective. Survival is a single-player or co-op mode where players must survive waves of Imperial attackers.
The open beta is currently set to run through Monday, October 12. The companion app can be downloaded at StarWarsBattlefront.com, while the beta can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store, the Xbox Live Marketplace, or the Origin Store, depending on your platform of choice. If you'd like to see some footage of the beta in action, you can check out our recent episode of Test Chamber with the beta.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
