The Star Wars Battlefront Beta is Coming October 8th
Get ready to be taken to a galaxy far, far away! Today, we are happy to reveal that the Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Beta will be available for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and on PC via Origin players between October 8 and October 12. The Star Wars Battlefront Beta is a technical test and will give Rebels and Imperials alike just a small taste of the Star Wars™ battle fantasies you can expect to live out when the game launches on November 17.
The Beta will let you experience three modes spread across three iconic planets including:
    • Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire’s onslaught of AT-AT’s by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.

    • Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.

  • Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-ST’s, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers and more.
In addition to the Star Wars Battlefront Beta on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and on Origin for PC, you will also get a chance to try out the Star WarsBattlefront Companion experience. Available during the Beta only at www.StarWarsBattlefront.com, the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience features the strategic card game Base Command, and lets you earn in-game Credits that unlock Star Cards, weapons, and more in Star Wars Battlefront. In addition to Base Command, the Companion also lets players check out game stats and progression, customize load-outs and appearance, connect with friends, and more.
Whether you look forward to crushing the Rebel scum or feel like you can take on the whole Empire by yourself, we look forward to seeing all you in theStar Wars Battlefront Beta on October 8th.

Got mine preloaded for PC and am hoping they open ps4 downloads soon.
 
Let me know how it is. I can´t play right now, as my graphics card overheats (thank you win 10), but I might join in later.
 
I feel like I could run it better on my PC, but I don't have to download Origin on my PS4....

Ahh who am I kidding. Even if I download it I won't play it. >_>

But add me on PSN just in case, I may dabble this week - Gyoin
 
My PC was struggling with it, but was just keeping up. Decided ill try it on PS4, but for some reason its not working. If anyone has got it running on ps4 lemme knooow
 
I havent tried have to workout, go to therapy, but will be testing immediately after.

I still don't see it on the PlayStation store for download even.

Edit: found it!! Had to open battlefront in the store, then go to the games page, then it was in extras.

So its barebones, streamlined etc. Its also fun. There are some weird decisions concerning how to party up with people, etc that should be looked at but its definitely fun to play. I hope there is a bit more depth concerning weapons and cards to earn. I have to think so because right now there isnt much. That said I will probably pick it up for PS4 at least.
 
I wish I could move the minimap to the right side. Since I'm left eye dominant, I can't see the mini map at all
