Ghost Recon: Wildlands open beta is live - watch Twitch streamers livestream the whole thing

Right on schedule, the Ghost Recon: Wildlands open beta has kicked off on all platforms.

Provided your download is finished, you can now load up the Ghost Recon: Wildlands open beta and start fighting crime. Servers are now live all over the world on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

A lot of Twitch streamers have been waiting to jump back in, with many of them slapping countdown timers on their channels. Since you may be stuck at work or don't have access to your gaming system for any other reason, we thought we'd show you some of what the top streamers will experience in the opening hours.

Above, Twitch streamer MyDopefish plays the PC version in solo.

As for the one below, it'll be the Xbox One version being played in co-op by streamer Angrysausagetv.

The open beta is around 24GB in size, but you can update your closed beta client if you still have that installed. You'll still download some 20GB worth of data, but it's smaller than the full thing.

The Ghost Recon: Wildlands open beta includes access to two regions from the game's 21. Itacua, and Montuyoc is what they're called. You may recognise the former from the closed beta, and it's where you'll be starting again this time. Montuyoc is designed as a higher-level region than the introductory Itacua, so there's definitely more to play this time around.

If you do end up joining the beta, and decide to also play the full game before March 31, you'll receive an extra mission for free. The Unidad Conspiracy mission lets you fan the flames of war between the Santa Blanca cartel and the Unidad militia.

One other thing you can do before the game releases is mess around with this interactive mini-game. It's easy to follow and it unlocks some in-game content and XP boosts.

The beta wraps up on Monday, February 27 at the same time it starts. That's 3am PST, 6am EST, 11am GMT, and 12am CET.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is out March 7 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
