After years of promotion and video snippets of gameplay, Activision and Bungie have finally opened the doors for PlayStation gamers to get their first peek at Destiny. The beta has now gone live for those enlisted for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 tests, with an Xbox One / Xbox360 test set to begin on July 24th. Beta codes should now also be in the hands of those who have pre-ordered, or others who were due to receive them for whatever other reason.
The test is set to remain live until 4:59PM AEST on July 28th 2014, with everyone playing on July 27th also being eligible for a special beta testers “in-game emblem” at launch.
The following is some more information provided by Activision for new players, which I have posted verbatim below:
Throughout the Beta, fans should visit Help.Bungie.net or @BungieHelp on Twitter for support if needed.
Additionally, fans can enhance their Beta experience with the Destiny Companion on mobile or on web to track their progress toward becoming Legend. To experience the companion on the go, the Companion App is now available to download from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. See below for links, and attached for images of the App.
