The battle royale shooter Realm Royale is going into open beta for PS4 and Xbox One tomorrow, January 22. We will show you how to participate.
In the summer of 2018, the shooter Realm Royale made headlines. The game was seen as a major competitor to Fortnite, and sales on Steam skyrocketed. Until now, players could only test Realm Royale in the alpha phase or participate in closed beta demos through codes.
Now, for the first time, the game can be tested in open beta. Every player can participate, and no invitation codes are needed.
How to participate in the open beta
When does the open beta start? It starts tomorrow, January 22, for all players on PS4 and Xbox One.
How do I participate? Every console owner can participate. Just download the game from the shop and you can start. You do not need codes or anything else, as was the case in closed beta.
What can I expect in Realm Royale? Last summer, the game was referred to as a major alternative to Fortnite. Realm Royale offers a large battle royale mode that is very reminiscent of the setup of Fortnite.
What is the difference to Fortnite? Realm Royale differs primarily through the classes that you can choose at the start of the rounds. Additionally, injured opponents turn into chickens before they can be completely eliminated. These chickens are then significantly faster and more agile, and they can heal themselves.
This is what the developers promise: After hardly hearing anything from the battle royale shooter towards the end of the year, the developers at HiRez want to make a strong comeback. Alongside the open beta, further updates and features are supposed to be implemented in the game soon. It seems that the developers want to compete with market leaders like Fortnite or PUBG once again.
In the summer of 2018, the game attracted over 3 million users. We have listed 4 reasons why the game was so well received:
