Entry is not open to all, in order to have a chance at giving the game a go, you will need to register for it and you can do that here. Those who are playing on either Xbox console, will be able to play cross-gen with other Xbox players, ie Xbox One to Series X, same with PlayStation 4 to 5, but there is no cross-platform family play for the test, so if you are on PlayStation and your mate is on Xbox, you won’t be able to play together.
The game has also seen a shift in its release date, leaving the late January window and now targeted in for February 25th, meaning an extra month or so.
