The goal of the "Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker" closed beta is to provide stress tests for our servers and gather feedback on the gameplay and its balance in order to optimize the game before its release.
To register, players should go to this page and enter their name and email address and answer a few questions. Only gamers over the age of 13 will be able to apply. Chosen applications will be notified via email days before the beta.
