Bleeding Edge’s final beta begins today
The second and final beta for Ninja Theory’s online brawler Bleeding Edge begins later today at 11 a.m. PT.
The beta will be live until March 16th and is available to preorder customers and Xbox Game Pass subscribers. The beta will also be playable through Project xCloud preview on Android phones and tablets.
The upcoming test includes in-game music, improved pacing for the Power Collection game mode, a number of performance optimizations, and balance adjustments for several fighters.
In addition, this second beta overhauls the leavers penalty system. During this test, players who quit in the middle game will not get rewards and incur a leaver penalty. While this penalty is active, players are more likely to be matched with other leavers and backfill into games. Players are unable to earn rewards while the penalty is active and must complete three games to clear it.

Bleeding Edge officially launches on March 24th for Xbox One and PC.
