Ghost Recon: Wildlands Beta Kicks Off This Weekend - Beta Keys Are On Their Way

Yesterday, we touched on how the latest BANDAI NAMCO x Humble Bundle would keep you occupied over the weekend, but there's something else if you're looking for a little pre-release goodness. Ghost Recon: Wildlands - one of Ubisoft's most talked about shooters in years - is carrying out its first widespread beta test over the next few days. And it looks like beta keys are going out now.

Hopefully it isn't too late to sign up, but with the testing phase only taking place across a short 3-day peroid, we'll just have to hope there will be more opportunities before its planned March 7 release. Just be ready to put some time aside for some hefty bandwidth congestion. Pre-loading is available with the console versions clocking in at around 23GB - so expect similar numbers through uPlay. Yes, you have to use uPlay.

However, if you've opened up your inbox in a frantic hurry only to miraculously find an Ubisoft email waiting for you, congratulations! Your friends will hate you until you promise to give out your additional allotment of 3 keys to them. Generously, Ubisoft is marketing this game as one best played as a complete group of 4, so they give you exactly what you need to make that ideal situation a reality. First impressions are key, of course. For those who Ubisoft haven't graced with a code, there's still a couple of ways to grab them. Multiple outlets are dishing them out, while those who opt-in for rewards through Nvidia's Geforce Experience 3.0 have an extra chance to grab one for themselves.
