The WoW Forever Beta is finally live and will run through October 21, and for players who didn’t have beta access or got one and don’t want to purchase the game yet, I’ve got you covered with this guide.
For players who don’t know, to access the WoW Forever Beta, you must pre-order the Skyborne Epic Pack ($59.99) or Warcraft Forever Collection ($79.99).
You could also have registered for the beta, where players were randomly selected (just on paper; in reality, they checked region and other details) to get access.
But what about everyone else?
Well! There is a way to get access to WoW Forever Beta on PC without registering or purchasing the game. Everyone can play the beta using this method.
So, here’s how you can access WoW Forever Beta: download and install it.
Downloading WoW Forever Beta on PC even without access
To download WoW Forever Beta on PC without access, first download and install the Battle.net launcher.
If it’s already installed, move to the next step.
Now, press the ‘Windows Key + R’ to open the Run command.
After that, type ‘cmd’ to open Command Prompt.
Now, paste the following command and hit the ‘Enter’’key:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net.exe" --game=wow_classic_beta --install
If you do it correctly, it will auto-pop up the installation window, as you can see in the screenshot above.
Note
If you have the Battle.net Launcher installed somewhere other than the C drive, edit the command above and add the correct path.
Let the download finish, and you will be good to go.
