Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is hosting a Console Beta ahead of its September release. However, only those who pre-ordered the game will have access.

With its release only about a month away, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is offering players another chance to try a Beta version, this time on consoles. However, if you are still on the fence about buying the game, it might not be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Instead, the Console Beta for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 is only open to those who already put in their pre-order for the game. TDU SC is set to release on September 12 for PC as well as the aforementioned consoles.

Following the PC demo in June, community feedback was not very favorable in some cases, with the performance often being cited as an issue. To combat this on consoles, which usually are not on the same hardware level as PCs, two performance modes will be available in the Console Beta. "Quality" mode will run at 1440p and 30 fps, while "performance" mode will give players 60 fps, but only at 1080p. 4k resolutions are not mentioned.


The Console Beta unlocks in two steps. Those who pre-ordered the Gold Edition of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown can hit the streets of Hong Kong Island exclusively from August 13 to 18 at 08:00 UTC on each day, and they can then enter the Closed Beta with the other pre-orderers from August 27 to 30 (08:00 UTC each day).

Convenient how the pc players got a free demo and because of the negative comments about it they've now made it a "closed beta" for console players because they think it will increase pre orders. It's impossible to get a refund on xbox once anything to do with an order or pre order is installed so people are going to be conned into pre ordering when it's absolute trash.
 
The amount of work that has gone into this title is huge, i hope they manage to turn it round. The demo was absolutely dire though, lets hope they have fixed it up.
 
Last news about the current state of the game are goof, in terms.of graphics, performances and physics. The traffic cars still have the opaque black windows though... still no pedestrians... still mandatory onmine races... the devs are seid to pay attention to.the community, that's quiet positive but it seems there's a long way to go before even a beta. Imo it is too early. But as some preordered the game, well they get their beta and will be disappointed, generating the now classic vicious circle in videogames, well done compulsive buyers.

Do you really belive that they turn it around in 1 month?
You need to be a strong beliver :D

This game will be in the shadow of FH titles or even The Crew series.
Ive didnt played the demo coz it was not worth to "pollute" my ssd :D
The first screens and later the katastrophic "event persentation" were clear enough to see how bad it is.
So in my case i will do not but it for sure.
 
More comments here than there are preorders.
Yeah, indeed.

It's a sims game but with driveable cars in it, right? Just look at the screenshots at steam. And that 7h screenshot... I can't decide if it's more cringe or more pathetic. Look at the guys face and outfit... Who modeled this? And, are they added particles in the game? No, seriously?
