The alpha version of LEGO Universe only worked on Windows computers with 1 GB RAM, a hefty video card, and quite a bit of hard drive space. Sign ups ended on September 26, the same day the beta test ended. On March 2, the beta sign up page was posted in the official LEGO Universe news section on the LEGO Universe website. Since then, the sign up page was sent out to Newsletter subscribers, My LEGO Network users, and members of the LEGO Kids Inner Circle. On February 3, 2010, the producer of LEGO Universe released a link to sign up for beta testing, but it did not guarantee that those who used the link would be chosen. These people got to try out the game (based on a set schedule), and report bugs that they found, in order to prepare the game for the beta test phase. Alpha testers composed of LEGO Kids Inner Circle members, LUPs, LEGO employees and their family members, chosen visitors at CES 2010, and people who visited locations where the pods had landed. The game had already undergone an alpha testing phase. Beta testers received a special beta tester shirt in the live game.

The game started for Founders (those who pre-ordered) on October 8, and was released in stores on October 26. The beta testing phase ended on September 26, 2010. While the beta was rescheduled for release on February 27, it was once again prolonged.

The original date of beta testing was set for February 25, only to be prolonged for unknown reasons. The first round of beta keys were emailed to non- alpha testers on March 10, 2010. The beta test for LEGO Universe was first announced at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES.
