Update: All the codes have been given out! Thanks everyone.
The beta runs until July 25, and it features a limited slice of the main game. You can find a full rundown of what’s included right here. Don’t forget that this is a test, so it’s not at all indicative of the final experience. You may run into bugs and the like. Don’t be alarmed. That’s why Ubi’s swinging open the doors on letting you play.
If you want to nab one of the 30 codes we’re sharing this weekend, keep watching @DigitalTrends on Twitter. We’ll be blasting out opportunities to win on Saturday and Sunday. They’re going in batches of five and we’ll be tweeting it out from the Digital Trends Twitter sometime between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. ET (9 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT) each day. The first five to tweet “Racing with the #DTCrew” at @digitaltrends and @geminibros win.
Be sure to take note of the minimum and recommended hardware requirements, however. This is a PC beta, so make sure your machine is up for it. You find hardware requirements and code redemption instructions below.
Good luck!
