Arena Breakout Infinite Beta Now Live, More Invites Expected

The closed beta for Arena Breakout Infinite has officially launched, providing players with a first look at Tencent’s new offering in the competitive shooter genre, aiming to challenge the popular Escape From Tarkov. Many eager players who signed up for the beta have already received invitations, but for those who missed the initial wave, there are still opportunities to join the testing phase before it concludes.

To participate in the Arena Breakout Infinite beta on Steam, players require a beta access code and approval for whitelist. If you registered for the beta on the game’s website, there’s a chance you’ve already been whitelisted. You can verify your status on the website and begin playing promptly if you’re cleared for access.

In addition to website sign-ups, beta keys are also being distributed through social media channels and by select streamers. However, players who acquire a key through these methods must complete additional verification steps to ensure their account is authorized to play, rather than just redeeming the key and gaining immediate access.

For those who have not yet secured a spot in the initial wave of invites, the opportunity to sign up on the game’s website remains open. Further waves of invites are expected to be sent out in the coming days, allowing more players to join the beta test. The beta is scheduled to run for approximately two weeks, offering ample time for participants to explore and provide feedback.

In addition to the ongoing beta, the official Arena Breakout Infinite website mentions an upcoming Twitch drops campaign, which could provide another avenue for players to gain access to the beta. This initiative is likely to generate additional interest and engagement from the gaming community.

Despite the anticipation and excitement surrounding Arena Breakout Infinite, some players, including prominent streamers, have reported encountering permission errors when attempting to access the beta, despite having received codes and whitelist approval. This issue stands in contrast to the smooth experience of the Gray Zone Warfare test conducted a few weeks ago, indicating potential challenges in the early stages of Arena Breakout Infinite’s beta phase.

Nevertheless, Arena Breakout Infinite presents an intriguing proposition for players seeking a fresh take on the loot and extraction gameplay mechanics popularized by titles like Escape From Tarkov. With the recent controversies surrounding Tarkov, including the release of the Unheard Edition and accusations of plagiarism against Arena Breakout Infinite, there is a possibility that the new game could attract a significant number of disillusioned players, especially if the beta proves to be a success.
