Known as the Big Alpha, Turtle Rock Studios and 2K have announced that the Evolve alpha will be live on PlayStation 4 and PC from October 31 – November 2, with Xbox One owners getting a 24-hour head start.
Saying they “waited until the time was right because an alpha this big deserved to be stress-tested in a big way,” only a limited number of players on PS4 will gain access to the alpha, and those who do are required to have a PlayStation Plus subscription.
