PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Enters Open Beta This Week

By Jason Schreier Published October 15, 2012 |

You can check out the beta for Sony fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale starting tomorrow, assuming you are A) a PlayStation Plus user or B) a Vita owner.

If you want to play on PS3, and you don’t have PlayStation Plus, you’ll have to wait until October 23 for access to the beta, which ends October 30. Either way, PS3 and Vita users can play against one another using Sony’s crazy Cross-Play functionality.

So here’s what the beta actually gives you, via the PlayStation Blog:

You’ll be able to play as Kratos, Sweet Tooth, Colonel Radec, Sly Cooper, PaRappa, and Fat Princess.

You’ll be able to play in both the Metropolis and Hades stages.

You’ll be able to try out four-player online tournaments and 2 v 2 online tournaments. For the 2 v 2 games we’ll be supporting friend invites, so you and a friend can fight another team online.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is out November 20 for both PS3 and Vita.
