How to get access to The Expanse: Osiris Reborn closed beta

To access The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, you will need to become a Founder. Founder packs are essentially a way to pre-order the game, with only the Miller’s Pack and Collector’s Edition granting access to the closed beta. These are available for purchase from the official Osiris Reborn page.
You can pick up Miller’s Pack for $79.99, which includes exclusive items based on everyone’s favorite Belter detective, including his standard outfit, OPA suit, and revolver. You can also get the Collector’s Edition for a cool $289, which will net you some physical goodies, including a spaceship figurine, a medallion, patches, stickers, and an art book.
Once that is done, log in to your account on the official site and go to your profile. From there, head to the Digital Download tab, and you will see an option to choose a platform for Beta access. Click on the “Choose the platform” button and select between Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation 5. This will give you an appropriate code that you can then redeem on that platform, and you’ll be able to start playing.
The closed beta consists of one full mission that does contain spoilers, but the devs have advised is from very early in the game, so the spoilers are pretty small. You can also try out 4 main character presets, as the character creator is not currently active in the beta.
