SOCOM 4 beta dated, PlayStation Plus members get early access

By Andrew Yoon

Everyone is invited to the SOCOM 4 beta starting April 5. But you'll have opportunities to get in earlier:

  • March 15 – Private Beta. "We'll be contacting eligible players soon."
  • March 22 – PlayStation Plus early access
  • March 29 – Access included with Killzone 3
  • April 5 – Free public download on the PlayStation Store

The beta will include all of the game's competitive multiplayer modes — Suppression, Last Defense, Uplink and Bomb Squad — playable on two maps: Port Authority and Assault & Battery. It's scheduled to conclude on April 13.

Unfortunately, the beta won't give you a taste of the five-player co-op mode. You'll have to wait until April 19 to try that out.
