At least it is if you play the Domination mode, otherwise it’s 64-player Sabotage. The open beta runs until January 10th. It’s out on the 26th.
”What better news for the New Year than to remind everyone that the MAG Beta Trial is now available for new users to download from the PlayStation Store,” posted SCEE’s Elliott Martin on the EU PlayStation.Blog.
”This will be a global Beta allowing you to compete with players from all over the world, with access to the game’s 64-player ‘Sabotage’ and 256-player ‘Domination’ game modes. New Beta users will have access to the download on the PlayStation Store from January 4th onwards, with the Beta ending on January 11th at 07:59 GMT.”
So how do you go about grabbing the MAG open beta?
1) Log on to the PlayStation Store and download the MAG Beta file like you would any other freely-available PSN video or demo (37 MB)
2) Launch the MAG Beta program from your XMB to download a special patch that will restart MAG once the update has been received (another 38 MB)
3) After the reboot, the beta will reconnect and download the actual game data so that you can play (1.8 GB – 2.3 GB depending on your region)
There you have it, a totally free game to trial before it hits the shops on January 26th.
