How to preload the Concord beta

If you’re eager to jump into Concord’s next open beta, you need to know how to preload it so you don’t waste valuable playtime staring at a download screen.

If you missed Concord‘s early access beta, don’t worry. This open beta test gives you an entire weekend to try out Firewalk Studios’ hero shooter before it releases in August. But with the beta being time-limited, you don’t want to waste time downloading it when you could be playing. So, here’s how you can preload the Concord open beta on PS5 and PC (Steam).

How to preload the Concord open beta

The Concord open beta is available to preload on PC (Steam) and PS5 now. Here’s how to preload it on each platform.

How to preload the Concord open beta on PS5

To preload the Concord beta on PS5, you need to have pre-ordered the game on the PlayStation Store. While you can access the Concord beta if you have PS Plus, this doesn’t allow you to pre-order the game.

Once you have pre-ordered Concord, follow the steps below to preload the game:

1. Search for “Concord” in the PlayStation Store.
2. Pre-order either the Standard or Digital Deluxe Edition.
3. After you’ve completed your purchase, you’ll be given the option to preload the game on its listing.
4. Alternatively, navigate to the Concord beta listing and select “Add to Library,” then “Download.”
5. Wait until the open beta goes live.

How to preload the Concord open beta on PC

Like with PS5, to preload the Concord open beta on PC, you need to pre-order the game on Steam. Pre-order the Standard or Digital Deluxe Edition on the Steam storefront and the Concord beta should appear in your Steam library to download ahead of the beta’s release.
