The highly anticipated playtest for Horizon Hunters Gathering, the latest installment from Guerrilla Games, is set to take place at the end of February 2024. This playtest offers players an early look at the cooperative gameplay where teams of up to three Hunters confront formidable machine threats. To participate, interested players must register their interest through a specific online platform.
How to Register for the Playtest
To sign up for the Horizon Hunters Gathering playtest, players need to visit the PlayStation Beta Program website. Once there, a pop-up message will confirm their registration with the note, “Success! Thank you for showing interest in this beta. Future communications will be emailed to you.” It is essential to be signed into a PlayStation Network (PSN) account for the registration process to complete successfully.
PC players who do not already possess a PSN account must create one to join the playtest. Having a PSN account is also crucial for crossplay functionality between the PS5 and PC. This account allows players to enjoy cross-progression across both platforms, as long as they log in with the same PlayStation account.
Details and Expectations for Participants
It is important to note that this initial playtest is described as a “first, small-scale closed playtest.” Therefore, registering does not guarantee access to the playtest. If players do not receive additional information via email, Guerrilla Games has assured that “unsuccessful applicants will have further opportunities to playtest the game later in 2026.”
In the meantime, players can wishlist Horizon Hunters Gathering on both the PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. For the latest updates and community interaction, joining the official Discord channel is also recommended. This early engagement will not only keep players informed but also enhance their overall gaming experience as the release date approaches.
As excitement builds for this new chapter in the Horizon series, the playtest represents a significant opportunity for fans to contribute to the development of a game that promises to deliver thrilling cooperative gameplay.
