Players can also take advantage of the free Battle Pass during the open beta, offering 16 exclusive and permanent rewards that can be unlocked and carried over to the full game at launch.

The new cross-play and cross-progression feature allows PC and console users to team up with their friends, regardless of the platform.

The open beta will showcase the improvements they made based on earlier PC testing, and they’re eager to hear player feedback to refine the gaming experience, according to developer Embark Studio’s press release.
