We've not got too much longer to wait until Back 4 Blood launches PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 12. It's even coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch day. For now, however, it's time to check out the game's Open Beta.
For those looking to take part in the Open Beta, early access is kicking off on August 5, and anyone who preorders the game will be sent a code (see it on Amazon). But, that's not the only way you can get early access, as codes will also be available for anyone checking out the game on Twitch streams. Here's everything you need to know, and how to get access to the Beta.
If you want to play the Back 4 Blood Beta from August 5-9 you'll need to do one of two things. You can either preorder the game or watch 1-hour of a Back 4 Blood Twitch stream when the Open Beta is live. This will grant you a code for the Early Access stage of the Beta (August 5-9). But, if you just want to wait, the Open Beta will be freely available on August 12 to everyone and you won't need a code to access it.
If you do want to dive right into the action, we suggest preordering the game from Amazon, as the retailer won't charge you until the game ships in October. This means you can always cancel your preorder without charge if you're not a fan of the game after the Open Beta.
There are two different stages for the Back 4 Blood Open Beta. Early Access is stage one and will require a code to access, while stage two is a straightforward Open Beta available to everyone on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
Early Access started on August 5, and will end on August 9 at 12 PM PST / 8 PM BST. Stage two of the Open Beta will then start on August 12 at 12 PM PST / 8 PM BST, running until August 16.
It's easy to redeem your Back 4 Blood Open Beta code, here are all the relevant steps you'll need to get access to the Beta as soon as possible.
If you're 13 years or older, you can participate in the Back 4 Blood Twitch Drops to get a Beta code. Here are the relevant steps you'll need to take to ensure you get the code.
