The beta will run from today until January 17th and will include access to a number of different modes and maps. At the moment, the only confirmed way in is with a key from the MCC, and some select fans have been playing it for the last few weeks. 

Earlier today, Microsoft detailed Guardians' three version, which range from the standard edition at $69.99 to the Limited Collectors' Edition at $249.99.
