Recently, Ubisoft began taking registrants hoping to take part in the closed Alpha for the PC version of 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.' While that Alpha is described as being part of a "very early testing period," Ubisoft has more substantial plans in mind for console players. Today, the publisher announced a promotion where those who preorder the game on the PS4 & Xbox One will be guaranteed access to the closed beta. That beta will be on all platforms and will include the incorporated feedback from the closed Alpha.
From Ubisoft, "The Closed Alpha and the Closed Beta will help us to build a stable experience and to playtest game elements on a very large scale. Whether you’re testing early on PC during the closed alpha, or helping us validate the experience once we open on all platforms, we’re looking forward to interacting with you and working together to make Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege the best it can be at launch."
