If you want to play Destiny early: Refresh and refresh often.

The futuristic first-person shooter from the makers of Halo is releasing in September, but an early sneak-peek beta starts this month, so you can experience multiplayer before anyone else (well, anyone who doesn’t have access to the beta, that is).

We have 40 tickets to this beta to hand out to the GamesBeat community. Over the next few days, we’ll be adding new codes to this post that you can grab — first come, first served. Just refresh often to see what new has arrived! Or follow our @GamesBeat Twitter account for updates, though we won’t Tweet out every single time we add a new code or else we’ll drive our followers crazy.

Each nine-digit code below will be missing a key character or two. Just solve the attached riddle to fill in the blanks. Grab ’em quick before someone else does! We’ll add the dates and times for when we listed these codes, so you can get a sense of whether you’re too late or not.

Here are a few to get you started. Remember: We have 40 in total to give out, so keep coming back to this story over the next few days to get more shots at securing a beta code for yourself.

Note: Instructions on how to redeem these are below the codes.
