Launch Date Announced for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Beta

The long awaited beta to the next entry in the Ghost Recon series has received a play date. On April 12th, Xbox 360 owners will have the chance to experience (some of) the multiplayer features the game offers. Playstation 3 owners need not worry, though. It has also been announced that Playstation Plus Members will gain access to the beta sometime over the course of April; as of now there is no specified date.

However, this is not an open beta. There are certain requirements before you must meet in order to partake on either console. For those on Xbox 360, you must still own your copy of Splinter Cell: Conviction (you know, that one game released way back when). The beta for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be located as a selectable option on the game’s main menu. On the other hand, Playstation 3 owners must be current Playstation Plus members to download and access the beta.

If you do not meet either of these requirements, do not fret. There is one last viable option which is to enter the sweepstakes on the game’s official Facebook page (located here: https://www.facebook.com/ghostrecon?sk=app_347999801904428&app_data). Doing so could snag you one of 400 beta codes being given away. Though, there are restrictions, so be sure to check if you can actually enter the sweepstakes. Here’s one below to eliminate some confusion or questions:

Prize Eligibility

Only persons residing in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and United Kingdom who are at least 16 years of age can enter.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is scheduled for release on May 22nd.
