GamersFirst CTO and COO Bjorn "TechMech" Book-Larsson announced last week that the team received 150,763 unique closed beta application e-mails from players interested in trying out APB: Reloaded. According to a new blog entry posted yesterday, beta application keys will be sent out this week.

In the blog post, Producer Jon "Neume" Merriex outlines exactly what to expect from the beta application process. "First and foremost we want to be clear that Beta Application Keys guarantees that you will have a chance to APPLY for access to the APB Reloaded Closed Beta, regardless of how you received your key," he said.

The closed beta testing will require diverse system specifications, which is why you'll need to answer some questions accurately and completely to gain access to the beta. The closed beta will be rolled out in waves, but Merriex expects that the majority of applicants will gain access before open beta launches. Check out the full blog entry for more details.
