Housemarque announced today that it will be having a closed beta on PS4 for its upcoming twin-stick arcade shooter Nex Machina. The beta will begin this Friday on May 26 and will run until next Thursday on June 1. This announcement comes following the closed beta for Nex Machina that was recently live on PC last month from April 21 to May 1.

Those interested in signing up to take part in the beta can head over to this form and apply. Housemarque will be sending out a few hundred codes to some of their most passionate fans to help provide feedback for Nex Machina ahead of next month's launch.

However, if you're reading this before the beta begins, Housemarque has been kind enough to supply us at DualShockers with nearly one hundred North American codes for this closed PS4 beta. We will be rolling out these codes with a giveaway. Stay tuned to the website over the next few days as we will be posting an article on how you can earn one of these codes for yourself.

If you're as excited about Nex Machina as we are, then be sure to also check out our interview with Housemarque that recently went live. In it, we talk about the game's development as well as what it was like to work with industry legend Eugene Jarvis on the project. It's a fun discussion that anyone looking forward to Nex Machina should check out.

If you can't get into the closed beta for Nex Machina, then don't worry as it will be launching soon enough. Nex Machina comes to PC and PS4 next month on June 20.
