The Beta, available in early 2014 and expected on PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360, will be available to those who preorder the game from a select group of retailers, a full list of which you can find here. Early access codes will be limited to supplies on demand. After making a preorder purchase, players can go to http://bungie.net/beta to enter their 9 digit code and secure their Beta access.
