At this time, the only way to play the "Halo 5: Guardians" multiplayer beta is to be a Xbox One Preview member or to own a copy of "Halo: The Master Chief Collection." But soon there will be another way to play the game ahead of its release next year. Best Buy on Wednesday announced that this weekend, 50+ stores across the U.S. will have the game available for anyone to play from 3 to 7 p.m. local time.
Head on over to Best Buy's website to find a participating store so you can indulge in some quality Sci-Fi, FPS action with the rest of the cool kids.
All Best Buy stores, including those that don't offer the "Halo 5" multiplayer demo, will give away free "Halo 5" posters to anyone who preorders the game now through January 3. On top of that, shoppers can get a Best Buy-exclusive art book when they pick up the game next fall.
In other "Halo 5" news, Microsoft and 343 Industries recently unveiled $100 and $250 collector's editions of the game.
