Download Ghost Recon Breakpoint open beta

The download for each platform for the Ghost Recon Breakpoint open beta should be straightforward. It will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Uplay (PC), and the Epic Games Store (PC). Use the preload times we listed above to determine when preloads are available in your region, then head to your platform and find the store listing. A search for Ghost Recon Breakpoint should bring back the beta listing, although as of right now none of the storefronts have the game listed. You can navigate directly to each store with the links below:

• PlayStation Store
• Microsoft Store
• Uplay
• Epic Games Store

Ghost Recon Breakpoint open beta details

The open beta for Ghost Recon Breakpoint will include content not seen in the closed betas, including PvP for those that wish to see what all that’s about. Full details of what’s in the beta can be found below:

PvP

• Four Maps: Skell Port, PMC Camp, Cold War Bunker and Deserted Harbor.
• One Mode: Elimination.

Regions

• New! New Argyll
• New! Infinity
• Sinking Country
• Fen Bog
• Smuggler Coves
• Mount Hodgson

Missions

• Main missions
  • Eagles Down
  • No Way Out
  • Back to Basics

• Side missions
  • One Man’s Hell
  • Ghost of The Past
  • A Soul in Rest
• Faction Missions: Twelve new Faction Missions per day

Drone Areas

• Murmurs: Small flying drones that will swarm the unprepared
• Aamons: Mid-size land drones that pack a punch with agility to match
• Behemoths: Large drones with massive firepower and heavy armor

Unfortunately, player progression will not carry over once the game releases on October 4, 2019. For those of us who are going to be in their third beta, this is unfortunate. Betas are optional, though, so we can’t really complain.

The Ghost Recon Breakpoint Open beta will kick off just a few days before the main game releases, so this is a good opportunity to try before you buy. Speaking of which, Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be out on October 4, 2019, or October 1, 2019 for those that pre-order some of the special editions of the game.
