Xbox Insiders Can Join The Evil Dead: The Game Beta This Weekend

Update (April 20th, 2022): Xbox has revealed that a second beta period for Evil Dead: The Game will run for Xbox Insiders this weekend. From April 22nd through April 24th, you can jump back into the twisted world of Evil Dead on Xbox platforms.

Just like the first beta, you'll have to sign up to the Xbox Insider program to request access. Exactly how to do that is detailed below, but be quick, as spaces are limited once again!


Original Story (March 23rd, 2022):

Been keeping a close eye on the May release of Evil Dead: The Game? If you want to, you can try it as part of the Xbox Insider program this weekend. The closed beta starts on Friday, March 25th at 10am PT.

Before then though, you'll need to sign up for it, and the space is first-come, first-served. Here's how to get involved:


  • Sign-in on your Xbox console and launch the Xbox Insider Hub app (or install the Xbox Insider Hub from the Store first if necessary).
  • Navigate to Previews > Evil Dead: The Game – BETA.
  • Select Join.
  • Wait for the registration to complete to secure your spot for the Closed Beta!

Keep in mind that if you get into the beta, you're not allowed to share footage as it's a confidential test.

"Step into the shoes of Ash Williams or his friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise and work together in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action! Play as a team of four survivors, exploring, looting, managing your fear, and finding key items to seal the breach between worlds in a game inspired by all three original Evil Dead films as well as the Starz original Ash vs Evil Dead television series."
