The open beta weekend starts at 9pm tonight then ends at 9pm on Sunday. It contains four singleplayer campaign missions, some co-op action, loot to grab, and levels to gain. It is weird turning The Avengers into a loot-o-beat ’em up with months of new content and that. I don’t have room in my life for more than one live service game and Destiny has already claimed that spot, but I am curious. You’ll find the PC beta on Steam. It’s a 27GB download, which you can preload. PC specs are over here, and higher-resolution textures are available as an optional extra download, classified as DLC deep in the Steam menus. You’ll need a Square Enix account too, so you could sign up for one while you wait. And yes, you will need to wait - though I don’t know what would happen if your PC should somehow find itself halfway across the world with the click of a mouse. Marvel’s Avengers is due to launch on the 4th of September, hitting Windows as well as PS4, Xbone, and Stadia. The beta’s on PlayStation and Xbox too, with a weird tie-in that’ll give players some Hulk cosmetics in Fortnite.
