- at 7 PM and runs until 11 PM Eastern Time.

When the next phase will start is still unknown.
Is there a pre-load? Yes, on Xbox One, pre-order customers who have already received their beta key can download the game now.
When will I receive my beta key? That varies depending on the retailer. You should read the product descriptions or contact the retailer. All players should receive their key no later than shortly before the beta starts.
What about PC and PS4? Unfortunately, they will have to wait, as the beta will start on these platforms only from October 30. You can read all important information about the beta with us.
