Are you wanting more concrete hands-on time before you make a decision on The Division 2 because FOMO can go eat a sausage? Well you’re definitely smarter than I am. Fortunately, just in case you missed out on the private beta, you can hop into an open beta from March 1 to March 4. Here’s a breakdown on what you need to know about it.

Red Dead Online may be a great way to spend an afternoon, pretending to be a cowboy who is making his fortune in a hostile new frontier, but it certainly isn’t easy to do so when the map happens to be populated with all manner of black-hatted griefers. Developer Rockstar Games is looking to curb this destructive attitude in the next big update.

I missed the Division 2’s open beta this weekend past, because I was busy with other stuff. From all accounts, it was pretty good, though it really does seem to be a more refined version of the last game in a new setting, than any grand, new experience. There's now an open beta.

The original Division was a third-person adventure with a mix of cover, stats and good ol’ role-playing elements for extra points, there was a lot to emotionally invest in when it came to constructing how your character operated within New York City and its Dark Zones. A few years later and we’re at the doors of sequel territory, with The Division 2 featuring more subtle changes to its formula while still retaining the feel and handling of the original.

The Division 2 happens to be out in March, but if you were looking for a headstart, then February has you covered with a private beta. Again, that’s not the name and rank of a soldier. So what’s on the menu for that slice of cover-based RPG madness? According to Ubisoft, a lot.

A private beta for The Division 2 kicks off on February 7 and runs until February 10, if you happen to have pre-ordered the game. If you haven’t, because you’re a 2010s video gamer who has been through all of this before maaaaaaaan, you can still stand a chance to hop in to the beta by registering for it. If there’s enough space, that is.

Upcoming manga brawler Jump Force has a beta coming out soon, and it’s a pretty hefty one by the sound of things. From January 18-20, PS4 and Xbox One players can jam the open beta, which will be available during certain sessions.

Despite some fears about what might happen after beta, Rockstar has confirmed that it has no plans to wipe player data when the transition eventually happens.
