Marvel’s Avengers Beta Was The Most Downloaded In PlayStation History

We’re just a few days away from the release of Marvel’s Avengers (and if you bought certain editions, you may be playing it now). The game has been anticipated as one that will allow you to fight as one of the core Avengers people have come to know and love. People got a lot of different beta phases to test out the game to see what they thought, with over six million players ultimately trying it out. And it seems PlayStation 4 users sampled the most.

As announced by Square Enix, as you can see below, the Avengers beta was the most downloaded beta in PlayStation history. It doesn’t specify how many that is, but when you consider how many high profile franchises, such as Call of Duty for instance, get betas nowadays, it’s impressive.

Marvel’s Avengers will launch on September 4th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia. We already know some of the game’s post-launch content that’s planned, such as post-launch characters Kate Bishop and Hawkeye. The game will also come at a later date for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
