HOW TO PRE-ORDER AND PRE-LOAD BETA
Fans can pre-order their copy of Marvel’s Avengers today and receive a code for their betas. You can pre-order through the official Avengers site or PSN, Microsoft Store or via Steam.
If you pre-ordered a digital copy, you should immediately have access to the Beta after you download it from your respective platform’s store. If you pre-ordered a physical copy, you will have received a pre-order code from participating retailers.
Visit the site to redeem that pre-order code.
Prior to the beta, players should register–if they haven’t already–for a free Square Enix Members account. You’ll be asked to log-in with this information when the beta begins, so to speed things along you should sign-up beforehand.

WHAT TO EXPECT
In the Marvel’s Avengers beta you’ll be thrust into the first mission of the story campaign. This is where you’ll learn the controls and how the game works. Once completed, you’ll need to complete the HARM missions to gain access to the War Zone and Drop Zone missions that you can do with friends and others online.

While Thor and Captain Americare are available in the story campaign, you won’t be able to play as them afterwards. Only Black Widow, Hulk, Iron Man and Kamal Khan will be playable in the beta.
Marvel’s Avengers is scheduled to release September 4 for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia.
