Tekken 8 beta start time, how to play and full beta character roster
Tekken 8 is holding a closed network test this weekend, so players can get ready for the next battle before the game launches.
Tekken 8 may not even have a release date yet, but Bandai Namco are offering players a chance to check out the latest entry in the legendary fighting game series. The Tekken 8 beta kicked off last week exclusively for PS5 players, but this weekend Xbox Series X|S and PC players will get to join in the fun. The beta signups are closed, but for those of you who signed up beforehand there's still hope to get into this weeks beta even if you missed last weeks.
Tekken 8 is set to feature the final battle between father and son as Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama clash following the events of Tekken 7. The game features the return of Jun Kazama – Jin's mother and Kazuya's wife – who was killed before the events of Tekken 3 all of those years ago. Meanwhile the eclectic cast of characters you know and love are all set to return like Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, Nina Williams, and – of course – King.
How to play Tekken 8 beta
Unfortunately Tekken 8 beta signups are currently unavailable. However, for those had signed up for the beta before it was closed, you should be receiving a code during the week via email, which you can then redeem as you would any other game on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Steam stores. Keep an eye on your inbox and check your spam folder to make sure you don't miss it!
PlayStation players who had access to last weeks beta will be able to play this week too without needing to redeem a new code or download a new client.
