With the beta of the online shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands, Ubisoft was able to set a new record and even surpass the impressive numbers of The Division.
In total, more than 6.8 million players participated in the beta phases of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. This is more than Ubisoft could achieve with the beta of the online shooter The Division. At that time, there were 6.4 million players.
Ubisoft also announced that more than two billion minutes were played. More than 60 percent of players cooperated against enemies in the large game world. A graphic shows what players achieved during the beta.
Beta provides valuable feedback to developers
The beta included two of the 21 provinces that you can explore in the final version. Itacua represented the starting area with its mountainous landscape, while the icy Montuyo already posed significantly greater challenges.
Ubisoft states that beta participants were able to provide valuable feedback to the developers, which should be taken into account as much as possible for the official launch of the game on March 7. This is necessary as the beta of Ghost Recon Wildlands received a considerable amount of negative feedback, including concerning the less than favorable performance of the game on console.
Testers will be rewarded
Anyone who participated in the test phases, including the technical test, closed beta, or open beta, and plays the full version with the same Ubisoft account by March 31, will receive three exclusive missions in the Media Luna region as a thank you, which will be available for download after the game’s release.
In a few days we will see how Ghost Recon Wildlands plays in its full version and what changes and adjustments Ubisoft has made. On March 7, it launches on PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
