Neverwinter’s Xbox One beta is almost upon us! We had an outstanding turnout for adventurers hungry to get their first taste of Neverwinter and we wanted to let them know how to access the Forgotten Realms via their Xbox One console.

Once you’ve received your beta code, you’ll first have to redeem it. This can be done with your PC or your Xbox.

First, let’s take a look at how to redeem the code on your PC:

Step 1: Visit Microsoft’s Redeem Code page on their Payment and Billing Webpage.

Step 2: Sign in with your Microsoft account.

Step 3: Click the green button labeled “Redeem”.

Step 4: Enter your 25-digit code in the box provided.

Step 5: Click the green button labeled “Confirm”.

To redeem your code on an Xbox One, follow these steps:

Step 1: Turn on your Xbox and select “Games”.

Step 2: Select “Use a code.” If you have a Kinect on your Xbox One, you can also say “Xbox, use code.”

Step 3: Sign into your account if you haven’t already.

Step 4: Choose the option to enter your 25-character code.

Step 5: Enter your 25-character code.

Once you’ve completed either series of steps, you should be able to access the Neverwinter Beta once it becomes available. We hope you enjoy your early glimpse of the Forgotten Realms on Xbox One! See you in Neverwinter! Please leave your feedback in the official Neverwinter Xbox One forums.

If you've entered your code properly and the automatic download hasn't begun, try restarting your system and then going to Games menu, scrolling right, and looking under the "Ready to Download" tab.
