It’s time for another round of beta testing in Paragon. The second Free Beta Weekend for Epic Games’ free-to-play shooter-MOBA is kicking off tomorrow (June 16). This beta is open to everyone and requires no codes to get into, so if you’ve been wanting a taste, now’s your chance.

To join the beta, do one of the two following things:

  1. For PC, you will need to download the client which you’ll need to install the game. This can be found on the Epic Games site, after logging in to your account.
  2. Those on PS4 will need to log in on the Epic Games site and link their PSN account. After that, download the free version of the game from the PlayStation Store.

It’s important to note that while you can download the client early, you won’t be able to log into the game until Noon Eastern (9am Pacific/5pm BST). The devs also note that matchmaking times may be extended and that graphics are not optimized for low-end PCs. So don’t expect an entirely smooth run.

That said, it’ll be a good way to kill some time this weekend. So, enjoy.

    Runs so so, not well optimized, not even dx 12 or vulkan, gameplay is very boring, matches is soooo zzzzz long, boredom like every moba, one map pvp over and over forever, soon poor asians(golddiggers now in mobas where they can win cash) will start to invest in this shit to win cash.

    Your date is wrong, the website says AUGUST 16th. Even the forums say so.

      The forum, video, and press release advise if you want a more polished experience to wait until the August event.
      Thanks

      Also, the video featured above even says June 16-19 in both the feature card and the description tag.

    Am I the only one that’s not all over this game?

    I don’t know, the characters just seem a bit… soulless?
