The Tekken 8 closed network test has now wrapped, but some players are still managing to get in on the action by cracking the files — prompting Bandai Namco to issue a warning for those accessing the beta still.
The publisher ran two closed network tests for Tekken 8, with the first one launching just for PS5 and the second one inviting PC and Xbox Series X/S players in on the action, complete with Cross-Play.
However, it’s come to Bandai Namco’s attention that the beta is still being accessed by nefarious means.
We have noticed that some players have accessed the Tekken 8 Closed Network Test (CNT) and played the game beyond the closed test period. Such actions brach the terms of service and the Tekken World Tour code of conduct. Also, the unauthorised download or distribution of the game is illegal.
Please note that any player found to have accessed the CNT without authorisation may be deemed ineligible for the upcoming Tekken World Tour and other official tournaments. Your cooperation in preserving the fairness and competitive integrity of our competition is highly valued.
Tekken 8 is currently in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, although a release date has yet to be announced.
