We still have a long way to wait for the eventual Diablo 4, and while we did get a decent playing game to hold us over with Diablo Immortal, the heavy monetization aspects were far from what fans wanted from a Diablo experience. The next true sequel after Diablo 3 has always been Diablo 4, obviously, though delays have pushed the game further and further into the future.

While we still don't know when Diablo 4 will release, that hasn't stopped fans from uncovering an unadvertised option to pre-register for the game's beta. For whatever reason, Blizzard hasn't officially announced this feature yet, but there's never any harm in jumping in early to hopefully secure your spot to play this upcoming action RPG as soon as possible. While it is simple to do, you will need to know how to pre-register for the Diablo 4 closed beta since there are no official instructions just yet.

When is the Diablo 4 beta?

The reason Blizzard made a formal announcement about this pre-registration is likely due to the fact that we don't know when any Diablo 4 betas will happen. However, the fact that the option is up and functional heavily implies that they will at least announce beta periods soon, if not launch them shortly after as well.

How to join the Concord beta
Two characters face off in Concord.

PlayStation's first real shot at cracking into the live-service world will be the competitive shooter Concord. The game features a cast of (literally) colorful characters, and the gameplay shown off so far appears to take a lot of inspiration from the hero shooter genre. Nailing that balance of such distinct characters, weapons, and abilities is tough, plus Concord isn't going the free-to-play route like many other live-service games. Thankfully, we are getting the chance to test out the game before putting our money down. If you and your friends want to feel this game out before launch, here's how you can get beta access.
How to join the Concord beta
There are technically two ways to get into the Concord beta. The first is to preorder either version of the game from PlayStation. Either one will let you join the beta when it starts in July. Not only that, but you will also get three more beta codes to share with your friends.

If you don't want to put money down on a preorder, there is technically another way to get access. Since every individual who preorders gets three codes to share, all you need to do is convince a friend to preorder the game and share a code with you.

How to start the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4
A billboard for far harbor in the mist in Fallout 4.

Once you've done and seen everything there is in the base Fallout 4 game, it's time to venture out beyond the Commonwealth. The Far Harbor DLC was the first to add an entirely new zone to the game, but it doesn't stick it onto the existing map. It doesn't take long to get yourself to the new island once you know the proper steps, but you need to do a few specific things in the game before it will be an option, and the game won't tell you what those requirements are. This is all you need to know about how to start the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4.

How to play the Smite 2 alpha test
Gameplay from Smite 2.

During the big MOBA boom, Smite stood out primarily for its unique perspective. Instead of the traditional isometric view that games like League of Legends and DOTA 2 used, Smite was played from a more traditional third-person point of view. This made it far more approachable than its competitors, and it has enjoyed a loyal fan base for the last decade. Despite constant updates and new additions, fans have been ready for a more substantial upgrade to the game, and we will soon have it when Smite 2 arrives sometime soon. However, alpha tests are already underway and you can join in if you want to be one of the first to jump into the fray.
