The official "Tekken 8" beta test has been spotted, and fans can try the game out for the first time. It was also reported that the beta test was spotted online, meaning fans won't need to go anywhere just to test the new game.
'Tekken 8' Playtest Beta Spotted Online at SteamDB Ahead of Its Official Release
According to the story by Event Hubs, this comes at a time when there was a lot of buzz regarding other titles like Street Fighter 6. The "Tekken 8" beta, the Playtest, would be accessible to the public.
It was noted that the beta test was reportedly uploaded to the SteamDB website and not the "Tekken" website. Fans can visit the website to download the beta test version and check out the game before its official release.
Fans Can Go to the Game's Page on the Store but Won't be able to Download It
The article notes that it "confirms a test is coming sometime in the near future," but fans can check out the game trailers as of the present. However, it was also noted that the listing wasn't yet available on the main page of the Steam store.
When clicking the Install button, fans would be directed to the game's page on the store, highlighting that the game is still Coming soon. The best that fans can do so far would be to add the game to their wishlist.
SteamDB Status Reveals that the Title was Hidden from Public Under CNT
As per SteamDB, the title's status was that it was hidden from the public. It was also noted that the image on SteamDB details that the beta would be a CNT, which means a Closed Network Test.
This includes branches known as "dev-cbt-release," which the report by Event Hubs notes could mean a Closed Beta Test. The report also speculates on how players might be able to try out the beta test.
It was noted that users would probably need to register to be included in a lottery to try out the game. It was noted that this could be similar to Bandai Namco's approach to in-person Closed Alpha Test sessions, which allowed a small group of gamers to beta test the game.
Bandai Namco Hasn't Officially Announced the Beta Tests for the Game
So far, Bandai Namco hasn't officially announced the beta tests and has not yet given any solid confirmation. It also remains unknown when the beta test will go live and when players can try the game out before release.
It was also noted that so far, "Tekken 8" didn't really have a solid release date as of press time. However, the game was known to be in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, which would make the game playable to even more gamers.
So far, the most recent promotion includes a video of Bryan Fury on YouTube showing the gameplay.
