Ubisoft is running a sale on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands through August 17, dropping the base game to 330 yen, a 95% discount from its 6,600 yen list price, on both Steam and the Ubisoft Store. The Definitive Edition, which includes the season pass, is 75% off at 3,492 yen, while the sequel Ghost Recon Breakpoint is also 95% off at 462 yen. A six-game Ghost Recon Bundle, including the original 2001 title, is 90% off at 1,751 yen. The sale coincides with the August 6 release of the free major update "Last Rites," which adds a standalone mission set in a darker Bolivia where players track cult leader La Llorona. The update also brings 4K resolution and 60fps support to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, along with visual improvements and customizable gameplay options. A limited-time free play period for Wildlands and Breakpoint runs through August 10, and Ghost Recon Future Soldier is free on Ubisoft Connect until August 13. Ubisoft has also opened registration for an insider program for the next Ghost Recon title.
The Last Rites update also restores the fan-favorite Predator event, where players fight an extraterrestrial enemy, a mode that had previously been removed from the game. The update's visual enhancements include improved draw distance, lighting, and shadows, plus new customization options for enemy behavior, damage values, friendly fire, weather, and HUD elements. The update did not resolve a long-standing issue on PC: reports on Reddit and Steam forums indicate the game can fail to load on Intel 12th-generation CPUs and newer, a problem tied to Hyper-Threading technology that predates the update by months. Players have found a workaround by disabling Hyper-Threading and E-cores in BIOS, but that is not a practical fix for most users. The series has surpassed 60 million total players worldwide since its 2001 debut, according to Ubisoft. The sale and free play periods are part of the 25th anniversary celebration, which also includes the Future Soldier giveaway and the insider program sign-up for the next Ghost Recon game.
