Yes, the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial really is coming! Just like its predecessor, the multiplayer mode for Killzone 3 will be put through rigorous testing at the hands of the toughest, most demanding critics in existence: you, the fans. The Trial starts on October 25th and access is limited to 5,000 U.S. Plus subscribers, so please read the following instructions carefully if you want to know how to secure a spot in the Public Beta:
- Be(come) a Plus subscriber
- With the exception of a handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants, access to the Killzone 3 Public Beta Trial is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers. If you’re not enjoying the many benefits of Plus membership yet, now’s the time to sign up!
- Download the theme
- On October 19th, an exclusive Killzone 3 XMB Theme will appear in the Plus section of the PlayStation Store. The first 10,000 Plus subscribers to download this theme (5,000 U.S. Plus subscribers and 5,000 European Plus subscribers) will receive access to the Public Beta Trial.
- Check your email
- After you’ve downloaded the Killzone 3 XMB Theme, you will receive an email on Oct. 25th containing the Public Beta Trial promotion code and further instructions through the address you registered as your PSN Sign-In ID. Make sure you’ve set your notification preferences to accept emails from SCE, or we won’t be able to contact you.
Those of you who make it into the Public Beta Trial are expected to provide honest gameplay feedback, report bugs and glitches, and help test our network code in real-world scenarios. In short, we’re counting on you to help us improve Killzone 3! In return you’ll get a good taste of the multiplayer mode, including its brand-new Operations game type, party system, and jetpack and exoskeleton vehicles.
And if that doesn’t convince you to take a shot at the Public Beta Trial, maybe this new trailer will:
… and what about us early adopters who are Qore annual subscribers… the only reason I subscribed was for the promise of “early beta access” – certainly not for the digital video magazine that usually has belated information of stuff I already know from the web.
At the very least Sony should have offered us Qore annual subscribers a reduced rate on Playstation Plus given that Playstation Plus includes the Qore magazine.
I feel ripped off… and I feel that even if I did subscribe to PS+, that shortly it would be left in the dust for a new and more expensive program.
I definitely want this beta… but I’m not subscribing to Qore AND Playstation Plus so I guess I’ll have to wait until my Qore subscription runs out… and then consider how ripped off I feel about not getting what I was promised with this program.
Awesome!!! I hope I get in this Beta. :D
Wait are you people serious? Not Sony, you bunch on whinos. Waa I don’t have PS+ so you hate me..
Grow up it’s a beta not the full game. They are not telling you that you will never be able to play the game. What differance is it when Gamestop makes you preorder a game or buy a game to get the beta code?
You kids need to grow up and learn not all things in life is free and you do have to spend money to get what you want. Obama is going to give you everything no matter how much he says you deserve it.
I’ve been in tons of beta’s I got Qore and paid for games to get them. I’ve never had to whine and cry to get one. You want in then get PS+ otherwise Shut up.
Gonna have to get some snacks to camp the PlayStation Store on the 19th O.O Play KZ Liberation while I wait.
I saw this coming a mile away, thats why I signed up day 1 with PS+ :)
I’m not PS+, but I hope everyone that gets into the beta will do their best to provide helpful feedback. I look forward to buying that KZ3 theme if it is quality and eventually released to all. I anticipate the game’s release and want to give kudos to Guerrilla Games for their continued work and desire to improve the game through beta testing.
You people need to stop crying over PS+. They stated this was a benefit of PS+ from the very start. Honestly it isn’t as bum a deal as you people are making it out to be. I find it ironic that some of you complain about not having enough disposable income then swat down PS+. I’ve been a day one user of PS+ and have accumulated 90 dollars in savings. In other words it already paid for itself almost twice over. I can afford a second year with the amount of savings I’ve accumulated.
What’s worse is the additional benefits I’ve acquired as a result of being in PS+. One of those benefits is the ability to get first crack at those 5000 available Keys for KZ3. I’ve gotten specific Demos first. I also have access to downloadable BD’s with a one hour trial.
I laugh at those of you going on about the Hardcore Killzone Fans who don’t want to pay for PS+. I’m a hardcore KZ fan and after everything I just listed above if you don’t pay for PS+ then you must not be as hardcore as you think you are.

Jesus Christ hating on GG just because they didn’t answer your question? Go somewhere else you little fanboy >:O
Ok, this will be awesome! & I love Plus, I have some issues with the content & being realistic, I’m sure devs cannot put every single person in a beta, so thats ok – I guess… Really hope to get in this one though!! As everyone else does! My concern is this, I live way on the East Coast, so the ppl on the West Coast will get the updated store before us guys/gals on the East Coast, am I correct? I’m not sure, just asking. So, the first 5,000 US downloads could easily all come from the West Coast? But, good luck to all my Plus gamers!!

Wow, some people get really mad when their questions aren’t answered.
Dear, GG
Can you please tell me everything about the game four months before launch? Don’t leave out any details. If you do not comply, I will question your integrity and insult your work ethic.
Sincerely, Snarly Gamer.
:P
Looking forward to the 19th so I can attempt to get into the beta, just to find out a week later that I was slower than 5,000 other people. :D
No I can’t. *integrity+workethic+1
