If you’re a PS4 owner who was looking forward to the Evolve Alpha, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news.
Due to some unforseen issues with the 2.00 PlayStation 4 firmwareupdate, The Evolve Alpha was postponed. It sounds like that the firmware update and alpha aren’t getting along at well, so the best decision was just to simply not launch it. It could be a blessing in diguise: PS4 owners won’t get an incredibly glitchy product.
Here’s the full statement from the Evolve website:
We have some unfortunate news to share with folks planning to participate in the Big Alpha test on PlayStation 4 starting today. Following the recent PS4 2.00 firmware update, we are experiencing difficulties with the Evolve Big Alpha on PlayStation 4. As a result, the test on PlayStation 4 is postponed. PlayStation and 2K are working together on a resolution.
If you’re playing in the Big Alpha test on Xbox One or PC, don’t worry, the show will go on.
