[QUOTE="Admin, post: 71530, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/06/08/gears-of-war-e-day-multiplayer-beta-1780934119122.png[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/gears-of-war-e-day']Gears of War: E-Day[/URL]'s big showing at the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-games-showcase-2026-live-updates-every-game-announcement']Xbox Games Showcase[/URL] was primarily focused on its campaign, but the game is also set to have what will undoubtedly be a killer multiplayer mode too, and players won't have to wait too long to try it. Xbox has confirmed that a multiplayer beta is coming, starting on August 6. While the "open beta" will eventually be available to everyone, those who [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/gears-of-war-e-day-where-to-buy']preorder Gears of War: E-Day[/URL] can get in early and play during the first beta weekend. Here are all the details you need until then. [HEADING=1]How to Get Into the Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta[/HEADING] As far as Beta Codes go, the [URL='https://www.gearsofwar.com/en-us/news/gears-of-war-e-day/']Gears website[/URL] also says that, "Players who digitally pre-order Gears of War: E-Day are automatically granted Early Access to the Open Beta and do not require a Beta Code." Players who pre-order a physical edition should expect to receive a Beta Code at the point of sale from participating retailers, granting entry into Open Beta for Early Access." That means Gears of War: E-Day's beta is ultimately [B]open to everyone[/B], but, as we mentioned, players who preorder any edition of the game can jump in before the wider public (that includes the standard, premium, or collector's edition). [B]Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass subscribers[/B] will also receive access during the August 6 weekend as part of their membership benefits. As far as how it works for everyone else looking to access in the second beta weekend, we'll have to await further information from Xbox.

Alongside the main game and getting early access to the Open Beta, ordering now also sets you up with a preorder bonus of a character skin and weapon skin. If you are going this route, I'd suggest a choosing retailer like Best Buy or Amazon, which won't charge you until the game eventually ships in October later this year.
