World of Tanks 360 open beta is this weekend, Gold and Silver XBL members are welcome

By Stephany Nunneley

World of Tanks is in open beta this weekend, meaning everyone can pop on and give it a go whether they have Xbox Live Gold or not.

The “one-time event,” is the “last testing phase” before the game is officially released, according to Wargaming.

The tester runs through December 15 and those without a Gold membership will be given a seven-day trial upon going into the beta.

Those who participate in at least 10 matches today, December 14 from 3.00-6.00pm PST will also be handed seven days of Premium Account status for free, which allows the player to earn credits and XP in a faster pace than usual.

Upon the game’s release on Xbox 360, the free Premium status will go live.

Thanks, Shack.
