Bleeding Edge Beta | How to access, file size, rewards, and more

By Sam Sant

When Microsoft bought Ninja Theory (DmC: Devil May Cry, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice) everybody was excited to see what they had in store next, although, seemingly, nobody was quite ready for Bleeding Edge. It’s a bizarre competitive online brawler that doesn’t match the studio’s previous output in tone, but hopefully can in quality. There’s no better way to decern whether it does or not than by playing the game for yourself, of course, which is why getting your hands on the upcoming Bleeding Edge beta is a bleeding good idea.

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Bleeding Edge closed beta, including how to gain access, the file size, what rewards are on offer, and more.
