Arms "Testpunch" Will Let Players Try Out The Game Early
Arms is getting a beta (though Nintendo is calling it a Testpunch) and the first opportunity to play will be next week.
Much like Splatoon 2's beta (A.K.A. testfire), it will occur on specific dates. Those dates are May 26, May 27, May 28, June 2, June 3, and June 4.
You can download the necessary software on your Switch to be ready on those dates immediately.
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.
