The Age of Empires 4 open stress test starts this weekend

Microsoft is waiting for as many players as possible for the next Age of Empires 4 stress test. The long-developed game has previously conducted a closed beta test. Microsoft aims to push the game's infrastructure and multiplayer mechanics with its test this weekend.

You can participate in the Age of Empires 4 stress test via Xbox Insider and Steam
After the closed beta last month, the next test for Age of Empires 4 begins this Friday. You can download the game directly from the Steam page or the Xbox Insider application, regardless of whether you have registered with Xbox Insider or not. The only problem at this point is that the game automatically detects the graphics settings according to your hardware. In this case your computer has to meet the minimum system requirements of the game.

This week's test will offer a lot of the same content as the previous test, with an instructive task, artificial intelligence battles and multiplayer matches. Since this is a stress test, Microsoft encourages players to play online matches against real opponents. In this week's stress test, many of the errors in the previous event will be corrected.

Friday September 17, the Age of Empires 4 stress test will start at 20:00 TSI and will be released for Steam, Windows Store and Xbox Game Pass on October 28.

You can access the game's Steam page via this link.
