The "Paladins: Champions of the Realm" is debuting on the PS4 console, but before that, Hi-Rez Studio is launching a closed beta for the specific console today. Players who wish to join the closed beta must purchase the the Paladin's Founders Pack, but only until March 28. The said pack is worth $15 and is currently available on the PlayStation 4.

Meanwhile, there are two other options where a player can join the "Paladins: Champions of the Realm" closed beta for free, but chances are thin. According to the PlayStation Lifestyle, a player may still get the chance to play the beta by signing up on the game's official site and if lucky, be given the beta code to play the game. The other is by joining events related to the game and get the chance to get the closed beta key giveaway.

Purchasing Paladin's Founder's Pack is still a player's best shot in joining the closed beta. Moreover, the $15 pack will also include bonuses like special access to upcoming championship games. Also, it will include beta-exclusive skin collection and mount, 72,000 Essence for crafting cards, Paladins-themed skin for Ares in Smite for PS4 and 10 Radiant Chests (which contain Cards, Skins, etc.)

The same with the Xbox One, players will need the Paladin's Founders Pack to be able to join the closed beta. A description of "Paladins: Champions of the Realm" closed beta on the console says "Bringing Paladins to consoles has been a major goal for us since day one of development," said Todd Harris, the chief operating officer of Hi-Rez Studios. "There are very few free-to-play shooters on consoles, and we're pleased to introduce a team-based FPS with deep customization and progression unlike any other game in the genre."

Hi-Rez Studio has not yet confirmed the "Paladins: Champions of the Realm" release date, but it might be soon after the closed beta concludes.
