Overview
- Cygames, which detailed the plan Friday, will open preloading on April 23 at 7:00 a.m. UTC and run the test from April 24 at 7:00 a.m. UTC to April 27 at 6:59 a.m. UTC.
- The download is free on PS5, Switch 2, PS4, and PC via Steam, with no PlayStation Plus needed but Nintendo Switch Online required for Switch 2 multiplayer.
- Only Tutorial Mode and Quest Mode are playable, with four quests that support online co-op and local wireless on Switch 2, and closed beta quest clears carry over but gear and parties do not.
- The test highlights a new Summon feature with six options that unlock after three quests and are usable only in the Sephira’s Sanguine Glimmer quest.
- Players can share feedback in a short survey as Cygames checks servers and stability ahead of the full release on July 9, and an introductory movie is now available.
