open beta
Public trial version
Open beta is a phase of software or game testing where developers release an unfinished product to the general public before its official launch.
Unlike closed beta, which restricts access to selected testers, open beta invites anyone to participate, helping developers identify bugs and gather feedback at scale.
The game's open beta starts next month, so anyone can try it.
Players understand they're testing an incomplete product that may have stability issues or missing features.
