Madden 21 Closed Beta Details: How and When to Participate in Beta Testing
The wait is finally over as the Madden 21 closed beta is officially ready to launch. On Thursday, EA provided details for those who want to participate in the upcoming game beta to provide feedback on gameplay for tuning. This year, it appears they are trying their best to bring as many members of the community into the beta as possible.
How to participate in Madden 21 Closed Beta
Some influencers such as YouTube gamers, or other Madden enthusiasts have already received their codes for the beta. For those who have yet to receive any sort of Madden 21 closed beta code or email, EA tweeted out on Thursday (July 2) about how to participate. Basically, gamers need to reply with their platform of choice, whether it be a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC.
Based on the tweet below, the beta will officially start at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday night and conclude on Sunday, July 5 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Once gamers have the Madden 21 closed beta code and have accessed it on their console, they’ll be able to provide feedback as they play the new game. EA set up a special area on its website where gamers can drop that feedback as they test things out. Keep in mind you’ll need to log in to that website using the same EA account you use for Madden.
They also mentioned that no captures are allowed during the beta, as they ask gamers to not grab screenshots or video footage of the beta.
