The First Descendant Crossplay Beta Moves To September

Nexon has moved their next beta for The First Descendant to September, but will offer it up for free as they test out crossplay.

Nexon has had to make a change to their schedule recently when it came to testing out The First Descendant, as the game now has a new date for the next Beta. This morning the company revealed that their next Beta will be open and free for anyone to join, as it will run from September 19th-25th on PC via Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. What's more, they will be testing out crossplay, so everyone who joins will be able to compete against everyone, no matter what platform they decide to do it from. Below we have the dev notes for the major updates and adjustments you will experience in the next Open Crossplay Beta.

"The Open Beta dates have been adjusted to September 19-25, 2023 to ensure that all enlisted Descendants are able to experience the title optimally on any platform of their choice.
