Gamers eager to try the new Star Wars Battlefront game finally have their chance as the open beta test kicks off at 1:00 PM EST today.

The small playable slice is already open to the select few lucky enough to secure an early access code. It becomes available to everyone on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC at the said time. Console gamers must have 8GB of free space on their devices to properly install the game while PC users are required to have 11GB freed up on their hard drives.

The beta comes with three game modes:

•  Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire's onslaught of AT-AT's by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.
•  Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.
•  Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-ST's, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers, and more.

The walker assault mode also features playable versions of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. To step into the shoes of these iconic characters, players must locate the hero power ups hidden around the battlefield.

The Beta will only stay up until October 12, so players itching to take it for a spin should play as much as they can. The exact time of the event's closing varies per region.
