With the release of MAG not far off now, Zipper and Sony Computer Entertainment have teamed up to bring you the final and 100% open PSN Beta. This will be a global Beta allowing you to compete with players from all over the world, with access to the game’s 64-player ‘Sabotage’ and 256-player ‘Domination’ game modes. New Beta users will have access to the download on the PlayStation Store from January 4th onwards, with the Beta ending on January 10th at 07:59 GMT.
Now that you know when to get the MAG Beta, your path to playing it is a simple three-step process:
- Log on to the PlayStation Store and download the MAG Beta file like you would any other freely-available PSN video or demo (298 MB)
- Launch the MAG Beta program from your XMB to download a special patch that will restart MAG once the update has been received (another 38 MB)
- After the reboot, the beta will reconnect and download the actual game data so that you can play (1.8 GB – 2.3 GB depending on your region)
Pre-existing MAG Beta trialists will be able to download the new Beta 5 update from 13:00 GMT today, December 22nd. This should give you plenty of time to get hold of the new data set before the trial begins in earnest on the Jan 4th, but the game servers won’t be operational until then.
Hate This Game…..Thats Just Me
it’s an awesome game , it’s worth the penny with 256 players online , just need a good connection !
Another MAG open beta? huh?
@kite this time it doesn’t require pre-ordering the game. It’s more like a limited demo.
