2K sends along the latest update on the Evolve Big Alpha:
After exploring all available solutions, we believe we have addressed the majority of known issues affecting the Evolve Big Alpha on PlayStation 4 following the PS4 2.0 firmware update. The alpha test is now live on PS4 after a gradual roll out to registered participants. Evolve’s closed alpha test is also being extended on Xbox One, PC and PS4 through Tuesday, November 4th at 12:00pm PST / 3:00pm EST.
Alpha tests analyze and troubleshoot unfinished products. While internal testing shows the majority of PS4 matches are completed successfully, some players will encounter interruptions and issues affecting the Evolve experience. We ask for your patience and participation as we rigorously test Evolve to ensure a successful launch on February 10th, 2015.
Automatic access to Big Alpha on PC is also available to all owners of XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Steam – no registration needed. To download and begin playing the Evolve Big Alpha, owners of XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Steam should select Evolve in their game library and click “Install.”
