The developers have also invited anyone who wishes to support the game – and even play early – to join the Insider Program. This gives players the chance to check out more of the game’s development, give personal feedback to help with Rare’s vision of the game and, if you’re lucky, get access to early versions of the game. Joining the program does require you to be 18 years or older, as well as having an Xbox Live Account.
