You can download and jump into the open beta for Battleborn right now on PlayStation 4 - just in time for the weekend. Weighing in at 8.2GB, it's not a particularly small package, but you'll probably want to get downloading it soon so that you can hop on for a night of gun-toting lunacy.
The colourful co-op and competitive shooter comes from Gearbox - the studio behind the Borderlands series. With Blizzard's already popular Overwatch also vying for the MOBA first person blast-'em-up crown on PS4, Battleborn's going to have to prove its worth, so here's hoping that this beta can make a lasting impression.
Will you be giving this a go? Please don't be a badass in the comments section below.

Can't wait to give this a try.
It's broken at this time. Yes, broken already.
^^ that's really tragic. Not a good start then! I might have a go, but I'm already playing Smite a lot, so might just stick with that?
I thought Sammy would be chiming in
I am waiting for Overwatch personally.
Been stuck in a queue for ages....
Was considering downloading this beta, anyone tried it? Impressions?
Played 1 match, queing 60 minutes for a game?,in the 1 game i played i was utterly unimpressed , no balance bizarre characters and wierd and cheesy weapons. the game is trash imo. Overwatch will destroy this nonsense .
I would rather glaze my "johnson" in honey an insert it into a bee hive, than que for 60 minutes to play this trash again .

Will definitely be giving this a go. I thought Smite was pretty terrible so hopefully I can make a decision between this and Overwatch
Haven't tried this but I didn't enjoy the closed Beta. One of the things that I didn't like and I'm not sure if it applies to every character but the character I chose doesn't let you aim down sights. One top of that, I'm not a fan of the both the art style and character designs in Battleborn. Overwatch looks great but the only downside for me is that it doesn't have a single player campaign.
@WanderingBullet oh yeah, agreed about overwatch, looks fun but it has nowhere near enough content to justify it's $60 price. Infact the game has a free to play vibe about it.(content wise atleast)
oh and @Tasuki why delete my post about "taking the urine" Battleborn took me 60minutes to get in a game, so what i said was applicable . Beta or not queing for a game is unacceptable .
@Bazza78 Oh, I'm not saying that not having single player is a bad thing. It's just that I don't enjoy playing PVP in general. Having said that, the game looks great and I really like some of the characters designs (the animated shorts are good too) so I'll be giving the Beta a go before deciding.
Not even Randy Pitchford and his colourful shirts can convince me to buy this.
Tried the beta for a bit, both single campaign and vs. I like the variation of characters and what they can do. I see the support characters not getting used as much, unless you have a dedicated group of friends. They seem underpowered. I was hoping for more single player missions than 8, but at least they have that. I do like the split screen option. too many games have gotten away from that. Not sure what the other modes are, but I see this game losing traction pretty quickly. It is too bad because I like the idea.
Not played the beta but will pick up this game like Gearbox so have faith they will do a good job.
Im having a blast with this title , I enjoy it far better than pargon, (but to be honest paragon is ftp and still in alpha...) But Im enjoying playing the coop story missions that play out like a destiny raid, and finding good character combinations. N eavh character so far is fun and has its defenitive strong suit to utilize. Its a beta give it a try.
I did not like it one bit, Its "solid" but thats about it.
More like battlebore, fps moba concept doesnt really work thst well IMO. Too simplistic unlike dota

Loved it, didn't try the beta until now (sunday night) but I assure you it's not broken anymore, the queue's were 30 second's for the MP and we had 8 game's. The coop was awsome with just 3 of us in there and we had a blast in the MP, i'm shocked as I didn't even consider myself a moba fan and am now downloading Smite with high expectation's! This is now on mine and my mate's pre order list, fantastic demo and can't wait. I had no intention's of buying a PS4 game for a few month's bar DS3 (which is preordered) until I played this demo, good job.
@dryrain have faith in gearbox? Ha!!!
Tried Smite, turned it off after the tutorial ...again. Battleborn smash's it out of the water, Smite in comparison is a cheap piece of poo.
