Once you have signed in, the game should appear in the Ubisoft Connect Launcher or on your console. There you can download it as soon as the beta or a preload is available. The exact download size is not yet known, but previous versions required about 58 gigabytes of storage space.
What’s in the beta?
Ubisoft itself is holding back on more detailed information so far, but we assume that the same content will be available as in the closed beta:
- 14 maps, which will also be available for the release.
- Four factions, you will be able to unlock a fifth at release.
- 24 weapons with a total of 44 attachments, as well as 5 types of grenades.
- Multiple game modes, including classics like Hardpoint and Domination
