Guerilla Games is opening the first closed beta for Horizon Hunters Gathering on PS5 and PC this weekend, giving players a first hands-on with the studio’s online tactical co-op take on the Horizon universe. The test is notable not just for being the franchise’s multiplayer experiment, but because it arrives at the same time as Marathon’s server "slam" trials, creating an interesting clash of attention for online players.

  • First closed beta: Horizon Hunters Gathering’s initial limited test is launching this weekend, offering a glimpse at its tactical co-op systems and online framework.
  • Platforms: The trial will run on PS5 and PC, reflecting Guerilla’s cross-platform push for this multiplayer entry.
  • Developer shift: Guerilla’s move into persistent online cooperative design marks a departure from its single-player origins with Horizon titles.
  • Timing clash: Marathon is conducting its own server stress test at the same time, which could divide player participation and media attention for both events.
