Evolve open beta hits Xbox One next month, with smaller tests on PS4 and PC

Turtle Rock Studios and 2K Games have announced Evolve, the squad-based first-person shooter, is heading into open beta next month on Xbox One.

January 15 through January 19, Xbox One owners with an active Gold subscription will be able to download and play Evolve’s marquee Hunt mode online, which pits four player-controlled hunters against one player-controlled monster. The first two monsters — Goliath and Kraken — and the first eight already announced hunters will all be playable across 12 maps.
