German players ARE required to have PS+ to play on PlayStation 5 - this is a platform/ratings requirement.

On PlayStation 5, an active subscription continues to be not required. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience. So what does that mean? PlayStation Plus is now a requirement for participation in the Chivalry 2 Beta on PlayStation 4. Sadly a fix for this would be dangerous to the existing Beta’s stability at this time. With the launch of the Beta, this was quickly determined not to be working, and on active investigation with our partners a cause has been found. Previously it was announced that you would not need an active PlayStation Plus subscription to participate in the Chivalry 2 Open Beta.You will need to navigate to the store page on the PS4 console and not via the web store.PS4: Navigate to the store page for the standard or special edition, scroll down to the bottom to find and download the Beta. PS5: Navigate to the store page for the standard or special edition, scroll down to the bottom to find and download the Beta. Visit the Epic Games Store and download the Chivalry 2 Beta client.
