The open beta test for Konami's contentious Metal Gear Survive is available for download right now, but not in the Americas. For whatever reason, the beta is MIA in these regions for the time being.
We will update you once this is resolved. For now, let's have a little look at what's included. The beta weighs in at 8.29GB, and contains two stages in which to test out the game's four player co-op. The maps are named Wrecked Base and Deserted Mine, and there are three missions to tackle with your buddies.
While your save data won't be carried over to the full game, you can unlock some little extras for taking part. These include a FOX HOUND nameplate, a Metal Gear REX head, and a bandana, which are all cosmetic items as far as we understand.
The beta test runs from today through to 21st January. Will you be testing your survival skills over the next couple of days? Let us know in the comments below.
Update: The Metal Gear Survive beta is now available for download on the US Store.

Squit Game...
Thank Almighty Zeus that this crap was delayed in the States, because like many I don't want this crap stinking up my country with it's microtransactions and always online requirement just to play single player!
I wouldn't even be surprised if they patch in a lootbox progression system later on either, Metal Gear is truly dead now.
The Konami team on twitter are such clowns. I'll be happy to give it a go but they can't take criticism from pes so seeing their blood boil over this will be hilarious.
Will PS be doing an impression article or a final review?
Would be good to hear some honest feedback about the game. Genuinely interested to hear if it's actually decent once you're past all the BS.
I put about 40 minutes into the Beta, might come back to it but Im just not a fan of online games so maybe the single player will interest me more. I dont want to support this because its Konami but at the same time I do because the team is made up of guys who didnt leave with Kojima so in a roundabout way, if this sells ok maybe we'll get some Metal Gear remakes in the Fox Engine. In Smyths here in Ireland its €25 if you reserve it for in store collection so to me, who'll probably only play the single player part, it seems worth it
@kyleforrester87 We'll definitely try and review it. No promises on a write-up for the beta, but if I get time this weekend, there's a possibility.
Konami please sell MG franchise to a competent studio, thanks
@Quintumply nice!
Help! I'm in the u.s. and can't find it on the ps store anywhere...
I feel a bit sorry for this game. It's not Survive's fault that its parents had such a messy divorce. And now it's being used to get back at Kojima. Konami probably forces it to phone him asking why he wasn't around at Christmas.

there you go. i recommend you : do not waste money on this trash
@porhawj2016
The advertisement finally came up a few minutes ago. Thank you for your help though! I have to try it before I completely write it off. My expectations however , are quite low
I guess no matter how competent this game turns out to be, it's got an uphill struggle on its hands with gamers due to the general negativity surrounding Konami.
I am not a multiplayer guy at all so my interest in this game is very low anyway, but if Konami make a good game that appeals to me, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Update!:
Metal Gear Survive.... Sucks!
Who seriously thought this was a good idea. It's awful.
Well, I never played a Metal Gear game, and from my perspective this game looks kinda nice. I'm looking forward to playing it! =)
We live in a world where Battlefront 2, Need for Speed Payback, and NBA 2K18 are top sellers. This game will do fine, microtransactions and all (unfortunately).
Metal Gear Fortnite
Thanks for the announcement, downloading the beta now!
@NYJetsfan123 maybe you try rent it in red box or gamefly first if you like it or not then buy it if you like it after play it first
The game is already on sale in Micromania stores in France. You can get it for 10€ if you sell another game to get it. It's the lowest ever price for a new game I've seen. The guys are aware they are going to bomb VERY HARD.
