Uncharted 3 Beta: What You Need To Know
Note: *I am in no way an official Representative on Naughty Dog or Sony Computer Entertainment.*
When Will The Beta Be Released?
The beta will be released on Tuesday June 28th to PS+ members and to people who purchased a specially marked copy of InFamous 2. The Beta will be released in everybody on July 4th.
When does the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta end?
july 13th
Will Members Who Got PS+ Through Sony's Welcome Back Program Get Access to the U3 Beta?
Yes a PS+ member ship is a PS+ membership there is no difference.
What If My Month Free of PS+ Runs Out Before The Open Beta Is Released?
Don't worry you'll still be able to play it as to me knowledge you only need PS+ to download the beta's and not play them. Unlike games beta's only last a limited amount of time and can't be kept and played forever.
Why can't I redeem the voucher code found in my copy of InFamous 2?
That's simple since the beta hasn't released you won't be able to redeem the code until the beta is released on the 28th.
What Time Can I expect The Beta To Be Up On the Store?
all the stores should get the Beta download at about the same time on Tuesday, June 28. Naughty Dog has been targeting sometime in the morning of June 28, local time to Los Angeles (Pacific Daylight Savings Time), but it may be up to late afternoon as well.
Is the beta simultaneously available throughout the different regions, or is this going to depend on the region store update?
Is's been confirmed by the European PlayStation Blog that fans will get the beta on the same day as the American PlayStation Store. I'm not sure about other regions but I'd assume that they will.
If there's anything I messed feel free to ask and i'll try to answer it.

How big Will The Uncharted 3 Beta Be?
If there's anything I messed feel free to ask and i'll try to answer it.
May I ask even if not in the beta, will any skins we unlocked or bought in Uncharted 2 carry into Uncharted 3s online? I'll miss old Zoran and Harry Flynn otherwise.
As far as I know nothing from U2 will carry over to uncharted 3. I don't think they'd have those character as this is a new title that focuses on new and better villains.
Not Beta related, but still Multiplayer. Will preorder exclusives ever be added to the PSN Store like Uncharted 2 (Golden Guns)? Hoping so because some seem unfair.
Is's been confirmed by the European PlayStation Blog that fans will get the beta on the same day as the American PlayStation Store. I'm not sure about other regions but I'd assume that they will.
