Bandai Namco announced that closed beta test codes for Tekken 8 have been sent out, and the beta test itself is now available to pre-load. Players will soon have access to a large roster of characters that will be available at launch for Tekken 8.
The Tekken 8 closed beta test will let players try out Fight Lounge for the first time. This beta allows Bandai Namco to test out the network capabilities and features of Tekken 8 before the game’s launch. Codes are being sent out right now to those who have signed up for the beta.
Tekken 8 Closed Beta Test Codes Distribution
Tekken 8 closed beta test codes have been sent to the email address of applicants who signed up before October 11. Bandai Namco notes that the email may have been sent to the spam folder for some users, so it may be worth double checking. Moreover, Bandai Namco confirms that players may pre-load the closed beta test after redeeming the code. The closed beta test will be held from October 20 at 1 a.m. PDT / 4 a.m. EDT to October 23 at 12 a.m. PDT / 3 a.m. EDT. Additionally, an online survey will be sent to participants after the closed beta test is over.
