If you don’t happen to get selected, worry not as there will be an open beta available. No exact date was given when that would happen, although Microsoft did state that the current client that users can download with the closed Beta will be usable on the open beta, so hopefully, that means it’ll be available soon after the closed beta test. As of now, the Beta and game will only be available on Xbox One consoles and PC here in the West with it currently available in Japan only for the PlayStation 4. No mention has been made yet whether or not the PlayStation 4 version would see a western release.
