Bungie and Activision have revealed the dates for Destiny's beta test. Anyone who has the game pre-ordered is going to have access to the beta, but we're giving away 10 codes for additional access. The details on what content will be in the beta are slim, but we do know it's going to be more meaty than the alpha which took place a few weeks prior. Get ready to team up in some co-op action with two other friends.
So when can you play the Destiny Beta?
- The Beta begins first for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 at 10:00am PDT on July 17
- The Beta begins for Xbox One and Xbox 360 users at 10:00am PDT on July 23
- The Beta will be offline for scheduled maintenance on July 21 - July 22 and open back up to pre-order participants across all platforms until 11:59pm PDT on July 27
By our count that gives gamers on Sony's platforms 8 days with the game while folks on Microsoft's will get about 4.
