I’m not usually a fighting game person<\/a>, but Marvel T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls<\/a> is my jam. Partly because it’s superheroes, partly because it looks absolutely beautiful. And with the Marvel T\u014dkon beta dates<\/strong> coming up, our chance to finally play it is almost here\u2014the previous playtest was exclusive to PS5, the greedy buggers.<\/p>\n

Below, I’ll go over when you can websling into the open beta and what you can expect to have access to. While the full release is only a month away, this beta doesn’t reveal everything you’ll find on launch day. For one, we’re missing a few fighters.<\/p>\n

When is the Marvel T\u014dkon beta<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Marvel T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls beta runs for just three days on PC and PS5, from Friday, July 24, until Sunday, July 26<\/strong>, at the following times across the globe:<\/p>\n

What’s in the Marvel T\u014dkon beta<\/span><\/h2>\n

While the open beta features much more content than any previous closed test (which were also limited to PS5), it’s still not everything we’ll have access to at launch. Most notably, it includes 16 of the 20 characters, so a few teams are a little short-staffed:<\/p>\n
