PlayStation Plus members will get automatic access to the impending SOCOM 4 beta, Sony has announced.
The news came courtesy of the EU PlayStation Blog's Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/#!/PlayStationEU), although no firm start date was revealed.
Things will work slightly differently in the US however. There, anyone picking up a specially-labeled copy of Killzone 3 when it launches next month can expect to find a code within granting them access to the beta.
Chris Roper from developer Zipper Interactive told the US PlayStation Blog, "To get early access to the beta, look for the SOCOM 4 callout on the front of all eligible copies of Killzone 3 (including both the standalone and Helghast Editions).
"Inside the box you'll find a PSN code that you'll be able to redeem for your early access as soon as the beta goes live."
PlayStation Move-compatible squad shooter SOCOM 4 is due for release later this year. Its predecessor, SOCOM 3: US Navy SEALs, launched on PlayStation 2 back in 2006 scoring 6/10 from Eurogamer's Matt Martin.
