Play by Play Studios has announced its first closed beta playtest for NBA THE RUN, set to take place this Friday, May 1 on Steam. Players interested in getting early access can sign up for a chance to be selected as the team begins gathering feedback ahead of release.
The initial test will center on the Knockout Squads mode, featuring 3-on-3 gameplay with a limited pool of NBA stars along with one of the game’s original Street Legends, El Gigante. Those who previously registered for playtesting should have received an email last Friday asking them to complete a short survey about available platforms, as access to this first session will be limited.
