Fans of PlanetSide 2, Sony Online Entertainment’s (SOE) popular free-to-play online first-person shooter for the PC, will be happy to hear that the PlayStation 4 version of the game will be receiving a closed beta sometime in the middle of January.
The development was revealed by John Smedley, Sony Online Entertainment’s president, in a recent tweet made in response to a PlanetSide 2 fan’s inquiry regarding the PlayStation 4 version of the game.
Read Smedley’s tweet regarding PlanetSide 2‘s closed beta for PlayStation 4 after the break.
PlanetSide 2 PS4 Closed Beta Coming Mid-January
The following comes from SOE president John Smedley’s official Twitter account:
@lakemead20 we tried hard. As it happens only a few weeks to go. Either the week of the 13th or 20th.

As seen his tweet above, Smedley reveals that the SOE team worked hard to bring PlanetSide 2‘s closed beta to the PS4 before the start of 2015 (as was originally revealed). However, it seems that they were not able to do so due to undisclosed circumstances.
That said, it appears that the closed beta for the PlayStation 4 version of PlanetSide 2 is not too far away, with Smedley stating that the beta will most likely go live sometime in the middle of January, either the week of January 13th or the 20th to be precise.
