If you have been waiting around for the closed beta of Planetside 2 on the PS4, your wait is about to be over. Most likely you already tried to sign up, but if you did not, there are still options for you to get in, according to one source. The closed beta is supposed to start on the 20th of this month, but if you have ever played a game like this, you know that close beta time can be hampered by many things.
If you liked the first game in the video game series, you still have time to sign up for the early access to the second version. The game is available on the PC already and is the latest online free-to-play game that is also available on the PS4. Planetside 2 actually joins a few others on that short list of games that are available for online play, as well as console games.
Planetside 2 is considered a massive first person shooter game that is boasting hundreds of players. The game allows players to run, drive, fly, ski, shoot and navigate the largest landscapes with hopes that you will complete missions that are set forth for you. Complete the missions and move the tide of war over to your faction no matter what it takes. The game was supposed to launch around the same time that the PS4 was, but delays moved it all the way back to this month.
Sources claimed that Planetside 2 was going to be in closed beta by the end of last year, but the delays pushed it back about one month. As you can see, the delays do happen and they can also happen on the 20th of this month. The development team has been working hard to make that deadline and only missed it barely. This week, the closed beta was announced and it should start on the 20th if all goes as planned. It is still very easy to sign up, just to go the Planetside 2 website an forfeit your email address to see if you are chosen.
According to the developers, the closed beta testing period will give them time to test the servers, game performance and other aspects of the game that often times contain bugs when a game launches online. If you are familiar with closed beta testing a video game, then you are aware that only a few thousand will have access at a time. This will give the developers time to take a look at the servers to make sure they are not overloaded.
