What’s in the Beta? 

Get a taste of both spice and story, as the Beta features the first 20-25 hours of the game and most of Act 1. Create your character, crash into Arrakis, and survive sandworms, sun, and roaming bandits alongside other players. Choose which School of the Imperium you will follow first, then craft a shelter, your first weapon and sandbike, and venture deeper into the sands. 

Unlike previous Betas, this one has no NDA, meaning you can share any info you want with friends, or even stream the game for all to see.
