Access covers North America and supported European countries. Use the country list in platforms and regions, then compare your PC with the system requirements. English, French, German and Spanish are supported.
Invitations may pause while server capacity is adjusted. An access request does not guarantee an immediate invitation. This test has no NDA or watermark, so players can stream, record and share gameplay. For rewards that carry forward, read the Pioneer Program before starting your match plan.
