Not only that, but PS4 players will get to try out the character Toby in the beta.

　　As announced previously, the Battleborn beta will give players access to two multiplayer modes and two episodes of its story mode. You can learn more about the beta content through GameSpot's previous coverage and here on the game's website. The full game launches on May 3.
