ArenaNet has confirmed that the first Guild Wars 3 beta test is scheduled for Fall 2027. No exact beta date, registration method, key process, or test format has been announced.

Guild Wars 3 is planned for PC and PlayStation 5. On PC, ArenaNet has confirmed Steam and its own launcher. PlayStation 5 support makes Guild Wars 3 the first Guild Wars game planned for console, and the studio has described combat as action-oriented with native support for both gamepad and keyboard-and-mouse.

Players should wait for official ArenaNet instructions before trusting any beta access offer. A beta key sale, guaranteed access claim, or account request from an unofficial source should be treated with care until the studio publishes the process.
