If you've been itching to dive into the free-to-play APB: Reloaded, it looks like your wait is almost over. GamersFirst just announced that the open beta will launch on May 18, which means all players will soon be able to swarm the streets of San Paro without an invite.

If you really want to play the game in the next two weeks, GamersFirst plans to progressively permit access to most people before the launch of open beta. All you need to do is make a GamersFirst account and submit the corresponding e-mail on the APB: Reloaded page. Once you do that, there's a good chance you'll get in before May 18.
