After a successful initial launch yesterday the Arena Breakout Infinite closed beta is being opened up to even more players, with beta keys being given away through Twitch drops.
Starting later today, with an expected launch time of around 9 am BST, the Twitch Drops system for Arena Breakout Infinite will launch giving everyone an easy way to earn access to the beta. All you will need to do is watch channels streaming Arena Breakout Infinite for a few hours in order to earn your beta key.
How To Get An Arena Breakout Infinite Beta Key On Twitch
To get your Arena Breakout Infinite beta key from Twitch drops you will first need to make sure you have a Twitch account and are signed in on the platform. Then you will need to create an Arena Breakout Infinite account, which can be done on the game’s website, and link it with your Twitch which can be done on the event page. This step is very important to make sure you can get in, so don’t skip it!
Once your accounts are linked you will need to find a streamer who is broadcasting Arena Breakout Infinite and has drops turned on. Typically streamers will tell you they have drops in the title of their broadcast so you can find them easily.
Once you have found a stream with drops on, you simply need to watch for 60 minutes until you get a notification on Twitch that you have earned a drop. When you get this notification, you will then need to head to your drops page in order to claim it. Here, simply click on the claim button that corresponds to the Arena Breakout Infinite beta key, assuming that is what you have earned by watching, and you will receive your key for the beta.
You will then need to download Arena Breakout Infinite on Steam, and you will need to make sure that your PC hits its fairly high system requirements, otherwise, you will be met with an error message that stops you from playing.
Then, and this will likely be the disappointing part for many, you will need to wait for you account to be activated, which can take up to one working day. That means if you get a code as soon as drops go live, you likely won’t be able to play until Friday. Once your account has been activated you will get an email confirming you can now play the game, so boot it up and give it a try.
So far the beta has proven popular with those who have played it, but after trying it myself I’m still not entirely convinced by it. The movement and gun play aren’t particularly satisfying and while it has a lot of quality-of-life improvements over competitors, I’m not sure that’s enough to offset the not-great action when actually in the game shooting enemies.
