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:

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.
