Hell Let Loose Vietnam Playtest Goes Cross-Platform
A cross-platform Hell Let Loose: Vietnam playtest is live for PC, PS5, and Xbox, with launch moving to August.
Cross-Platform First
The next Hell Let Loose: Vietnam playtest was announced as the game’s first cross-platform test, marking the first time PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S players would be brought together for the same pre-launch session.
The studio described the event as a pre-launch playtest, which makes it a step that happens before the release rather than a launch-day activity.
This cross-platform arrangement is notable because it brings together players from different systems during the same test period.
A separate announcement confirmed that the Crossplay Playtest for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is now live for all platforms, putting the cross-platform plan into practice.
Playtest Dates and Times
The pre-launch playtest was scheduled to run from Friday, July 24, through Monday, July 27, covering the full weekend.
According to the live announcement, the playtest will finish at 6am PDT on Monday, July 27, with additional end times listed for EDT, BST, CEST, and AEST.
The same announcement said the event is a full cross-platform playtest, meaning all platforms are involved in the same window.
Players were reminded to read the known issues and feedback instructions before starting, so the schedule was paired with preparation steps.
Known Issues and Feedback
Players were told to read the listed known issues before playing, and the announcement included instructions for submitting feedback.
This made clear that the playtest was not only a chance to play but also an opportunity for players to report what they found.
