In FIFA 19, the closed beta is approaching. The beta codes are now being sent out. Here is all the info for players from Germany.
The FIFA 19 beta is only for invited guests: In mid-August, the beta for FIFA 19 will take place. This is a “closed beta” – meaning only those players who have received an invitation from EA Sports can participate.
Invitations are now being sent: Since August 8th, EA Sports has been sending out beta codes via email. This code is required to participate in the beta and to get an early look at FIFA 19.
How do I get a beta code for FIFA 19?
Here’s the bad news up front: For us in Germany, the outlook for beta codes is very bleak. The beta is intended for players from the UK and North America.
These are the requirements to receive a beta code:
- The console account must be from the UK or North America
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You need an account on PS4 or Xbox One
- You must have played FIFA 18 regularly
- You must have granted permission in the EA account settings to allow EA to send you emails.
Even if you meet all these conditions, you will still need a good dose of luck to be selected. Because the beta codes are strictly limited.
So we in Germany are left empty-handed. It is also difficult for players from German-speaking countries to obtain a beta code “through other means.” The codes are tied to the respective EA account. In other words, a code alone is not enough. You also need access to the account to which it is linked.
When does the beta start, what are the contents?
The beta starts according to the already sent emails on August 10th at 6 PM: The beta lasts for 10 days and ends on August 20th.
On which platforms is the beta available? The FIFA 19 beta is exclusive to PS4 and Xbox One. It is not available for PC, Switch, or last-gen consoles.
Which game modes are playable in the beta? Pro Clubs, Career, Ultimate Team, and Kick-off. However, each player only gets access to the Kick-off and one of the other modes. For example, one might receive an invitation email for Kick-off and Career mode. The other modes cannot then be played. Normally, one gets access to the mode they played the most in FIFA 18.
The progress made in the beta will not carry over to the full version.
What is the purpose of a FIFA 19 beta? The purpose of the beta is to test the game modes and gameplay, send feedback to EA, and allow developers to make the necessary final adjustments just before the release of FIFA 19.
Will there soon be a lot of footage of FIFA 19 online? Actually not, because beta participants are prohibited from streaming beta gameplay or publishing footage from it. However, there will surely be a few “leaks.”
When can players in Germany test FIFA 19 before release? In mid-September, the demo for FIFA 19 will start, which will be available for everyone. All previous information about the FIFA 19 demo can be found here.
