Now that you know the scheduled times and participating regions, the next step is learning how to qualify for the Mortal Kombat 11 closed beta. To gain access to the Mortal Kombat 11 closed beta, you’ll first need to pre-order either a digital or physical copy of the game for either Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

The easiest option of the two is pre-ordering a digital copy, as you won’t have to run through any additional steps. Instead, you’ll be able to download the closed beta through your system’s storefront, and will be able to access it once it goes live in your region. If you’re intent on pre-ordering a physical copy, you’ll be given a redeemable closed beta code either printed out at the time of purchase, or sent to your email.

When you have your code, you’ll need to redeem it via your system’s storefront. Like the digital pre-order, redeeming this code will allow you to download the closed beta, and access it once it goes live in your region. Again, keep the start and end times in mind, and remember that the Mortal Kombat 11 closed beta is only available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
