You won’t have to wait until November 1 to try out Uncharted 3′s impressive multiplayer experience. Naughty Dog is putting the mode through an open beta test that director Justin Richmond says should “teach us a lot.” Early access to the multiplayer beta will be granted on June 28 for PlayStation Plus subscribers and for those who have purchased inFamous 2. So either pre-order or purchase a subscription.

Developer Naughty Dog has also announced that Uncharted 3 will feature heavy integration with social networks Facebook and YouTube, and include a new video service called Uncharted TV.

The previous game in the series offered Twitter integration, but Uncharted 3 is going all-in on the social networking gamble, allowing players to share achievements and actions on Facebook directly from the game, and even message and play with Facebook friends who aren’t connected on the PlayStation Network. The multiplayer menu has a Facebook-specific feed attached as well, so players can browse those updates right alongside the game’s new customization features.

The game also integrates with YouTube. Courtesy of a revamped Cinema mode, that allows players to rewind previous games and even mark out clips and major game events. The video can then be posted on YouTube from inside the game, and Naughty Dog will run a service called Uncharted TV to post “plays of the week” and other announcements through the video sharing service. The beta will launch for all PSN members on July 5.
