Registrations for the first Ghostrunner 2 closed beta has been opened by the publisher 505 Games. This private beta will only be available to a select few gamers, with the developer claiming that ‘only a fraction of applicants will be chosen to participate in this beta’.
Furthermore, the developer explained that only the gamers who are members of the game’s Discord as well as the official subreddit will be considered for this beta. Players can register for the Ghostrunner 2 beta on publisher’s official website.
The developer revealed that the lucky few who get selected to participate in the Ghostrunner 2 beta testing will get their names featured in the end credits of the game. Along with the registration form, the publisher 505 Games has also revealed an official story recap trailer to remind fans of the events of the first Ghostrunner game.
At the end of the trailer, 505 Games teased that more news regarding Ghostrunner 2 will be announced on August 21, 2023. There is no information available as to which platform this private beta will be conducted on, however, Windows seems to be the popular choice. One of the major concerns for gamers is the choice of platform, with many asking for a confirmation and most gamers wishing they can play this closed beta on PS5.
Fans perplexed by the length of Ghostrunner 2 beta registration form
The Ghostrunner 2 beta registration has garnered considerable excitement from fans of the fast-paced slasher RPG. However, some are reporting certain troubles encountered while registering.
Some players are perplexed by a few questions, while are complaining about the length of the registration form. One fan claimed that they lost interest halfway through the registration form and simply gave up.
Halfway through this beta sign up, I lost interest. It's an awful way to do it.

The form features various questions about the potential recruits, such as their social media preferences, the languages they speak and understand (rated on 10-point scale), and their prior experience with beta testing video games. Looking at the limited availability of participants and the publisher’s intent of getting tech-savvy and social media friendly testers, it’s possible that the developer is looking for competent gamers who can not only test the game but also significantly help in driving up the marketing efforts.
For example, a question in the form literally asks for grander involvement than mere beta testing. The question is: “Do you have any interest in helping to moderate the Ghostrunner Discord server or r/GhostrunnerOfficial subreddit? Would you like to be a community Event Coordinator or suggest any fun community events?”
Participating in the Ghostrunner 2 closed beta is shaping up to be an exciting opportunity that can deliver more than just a few hours of playtesting. The game is set to release in late 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows.
