We always try and bring you the most notable Alphas, Betas, Tech Tests and everything else along those lines when they crop up, but admittedly we're a little late with the one for ARC Raiders which begins tomorrow on Xbox Series X|S.
However, there's still time to sign up for the ARC Raiders Xbox beta (otherwise known as "Tech Test 2") as the team has advised that invites will be rolled out throughout its duration. The ARC Raiders Tech Test 2 begins on April 30th and ends on May 4th, and you can sign up for it right now on the official ARC Raiders website.
Another Xbox beta happening in May 2025 is the Splitgate 2 Open Beta on May 22nd. Unlike ARC Raiders, Splitgate 2's Xbox beta won't require a sign-up at all, and will be available on Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X|S.
Here's a bit more of what you can expect from Splitgate 2's Xbox Open Beta in May (vulgarity warning for the tweet!):
ARC Raiders will be $40 and Spligate 2 will be free-to-play when they release on Xbox in the future, so now's your chance to get a sneak peek at what's ahead. We've played quite a bit of Splitgate 2 already and enjoyed it here at Pure Xbox, so now we're intrigued to see how ARC Raiders fares - described as a "multiplayer extraction adventure".
We'll throw trailers for both games down below, and tell us if you spot any other Xbox betas for us to highlight in May!
