Fancy trying something new this weekend? We've got a free-to-play extraction shooter called Hawked coming to Xbox at some point in early 2024, and if you're quick enough, you can try it out for free over the next few days.
We've thrown a trailer for Hawked up above, and here's a bit more about what to expect from it:
"HAWKED is an online extraction shooter where you can embark on the ultimate treasure hunt. Play solo or team up in 2-player or 3-player squads to explore the mysterious island paradise called X-Isle, stuffed with lush plains, dense jungles, gorgeous beaches, and no shortage of ancient ruins to raid.
Your goal is to solve puzzles, retrieve enough Glyphs to unlock Treasuries, and then claim and extract the shimmering Artifacts that lie in wait. But stay frosty—you’re not alone! You’ll have to outfox and outgun hordes of monstrous Disciples and rival Renegades alike in explosive PvPvE battles if you want to make it out alive with your haul."
In order to sign up, you'll need to access the Xbox Insider Hub app. The instructions are as follows:
- Sign in on your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One console and launch the Xbox Insider Hub app (install the Xbox Insider Hub from the Store first if necessary).
- Navigate to Previews > HAWKED – Beta.
- Select Join.
- Wait for the registration to complete, and you should be directed to the Store page to install it.
You'll need to be quick if you want to sign up for this Hawked playtest, as space is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. It'll end on the morning of Monday, December 11th at 1AM PT / 4AM ET / 9AM GMT.
