The Gears of War 4 closed beta started yesterday and players are already racking up kills in the game’s available three maps. If you are a customer of the mobile provider O2, you are also eligible to receive access to the closed beta for Gears of War 4 before everyone has a chance to get on next week.
To do this you must have the O2 Priority app installed which is available on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices or use the O2 Priority website. Once on the website, search for Xbox and press the “Use Now” button. After this, you should receive a code for the beta fairly quickly.
For anyone who is unable to join the beta for Gears of War 4, don’t worry, the open beta will begin for all Xbox Live subscribers on April 24 all the way through to May 1.
