Suicide Squad: KIll the Justice Leaguewill be playable later this week, with a closed alpha test going live on November 30. It will be available to play acrossPS5,Xbox Series X/SandPC, and will have cross-play functionality.
Sign-ups for the alpha test are live now, although not everyone who signs up is guaranteed a code. It doesn’t seem like codes have been sent out yet though, so there’s presumably still space in the test if you want to try it out.
You won’t need a subscription to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Core to play in the alpha test, according to WB, so you’re free to pick whichever platform is the most convenient for you.
The test will be available globally, so you don’t have to worry about being locked out because of your region. It’s set to run until December 3, meaning you’ll only be able to play for the weekend, but you will be among the first to get your hands on the game and try out the long-awaitedDCgame.
You will have to sign an NDA, however, so don’t expect to be able to share all of your discoveries online while you play. In fact, any gameplay your record will have a watermark specific to your account, so Warner Bros. will know exactly who is leaking material ahead of launch.
Whilethe websitesays that the purpose of the test is to “stress [the] online services in preparation for launch,” this will also be a test of whether the game has fixed its image after a lengthy nine-month delay. It was pushed back shortly after it was revealed that it would contain several live service elements, likerequiring a constant internet connection. As per the onlineFAQ, this is still a requirement, so it doesn’t seem that the devs were able to remove this ahead of its new release date in 2024.
Now, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation on June 01, 2025. It’s entering its launch year with a lot less goodwill than it had when it was announced, now that we know that it borrows so heavily from other live services, but it remains to be seen if the gameplay and storyline are enough to win everyone over. It’s certainly not a great time to be releasing a middling service game though, right off the back ofthe Marvel’s Avengers delistingand MultiVersus' extended sabbatical.
