News: If you are a part of the preview program on Xbox One for Microsoft then they are going to give you early access to the Halo 5 beta.

Microsoft has just revealed that they are giving preview program members an early Christmas gift. It has just been revealed that members of the preview program on Xbox One will get early access to the Halo 5 beta for a few days, beginning tomorrow December 19 at 4pm ET and going through December 22 at 3am ET. This early access appears to be invite-only, however, preview program members should receive a message at some point inviting them to download the Halo 5 beta client.

This will give preview program members a sneak peek before everyone else gets access to the beta on the 29th. Preview program members are the people who test out new features throughout the year and then report back to Microsoft about any bugs they encounter before new updates are rolled out to the general public. It is a fantastic idea on Microsoft’s part to reward this same group of people with a few extra days in the Halo 5 beta.

Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think. Are you in the preview program? If you aren’t there isn’t any way to get involved with the program in time to participate in the Halo 5 beta this weekend. Will you be participating in the beta once it launches for more people on December 29th?
