The closed beta for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is now live for players who have purchased special editions, running until the game’s full release in Spring 2027. This extended beta period allows players to experience core gameplay and provide valuable feedback to the developers.

Beta Launch Details

The highly anticipated closed beta officially commenced on April 22nd at 10 AM Eastern Time. It will remain active until the game’s full release, providing a substantial opportunity for fans to preview the sci-fi action RPG.

The beta is accessible on PC via Steam, as well as on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles. Owlcat Games, the developer, is actively soliciting player feedback during this phase to refine the game and shape the final product.

Accessing the Beta

Currently, access to the closed beta is limited to those who have purchased either The Collector’s Edition or Miller’s Pack of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Both special editions are still available for purchase, granting beta access alongside exclusive content.

Edition Details

  • The Collector’s Edition: Priced at $289 USD, this premium package includes a physical spaceship figurine, a detailed artbook, and unique in-game skins and weapons.
  • Miller’s Pack: Available for $79.99, this option provides a digital copy of the game, digital bonuses, and access to the closed beta.

    • Gameplay and Features in the Beta

    Players can participate in the beta test on PC, Xbox Series X|S (with Series X recommended for optimal performance), or PS5. The current beta build features a single, early-game mission centered around the Pinkwater station.

    A typical playthrough of this mission takes approximately one hour, though completion time varies based on exploration and engagement with side content. Players can interact with NPCs, gather resources, and upgrade their character’s equipment.

    Character Progression

    The mission incorporates exploration, combat, and dialogue choices that influence the narrative. Each character specialization offers a distinct set of weapons and tools. The full game will introduce a Mars character background alongside expanded specializations and customization features.

    A recent update was also released for another game, Crimson Desert, with detailed patch notes available.
