Ubisoft is offering Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for free on PC via Ubisoft Connect as part of the franchise's 25th anniversary. The promotion runs until August 13, and players who claim the game during this period will be able to keep it permanently.
Future Soldier, originally released in 2012, is a tactical shooter set in a near-future world. It features advanced military technology such as optical camouflage and reconnaissance drones, alongside the signature Sync Shot mechanic. The game's campaign takes players across diverse locations including Bolivia, Zambia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, and Norway, blending stealth-focused gameplay with cinematic third-person action. A 2012 review noted the game's successful combination of tactical stealth and satisfying gunplay, alongside effective squad mechanics, though the narrative was considered less memorable. It achieved generally positive reception at launch, with a Metacritic score of 79.
The anniversary celebration extends beyond the free game offer. Ubisoft is also providing discounts of up to 95% on various Ghost Recon titles across Ubisoft Connect, Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. Additionally, free play periods are available for newer entries like Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, running until August 10.
Ubisoft has also officially confirmed that a new Ghost Recon game is in development. During an anniversary stream, live producer Irina-Gabriela Popa stated that the company has been working on "the next chapter of Ghost Recon" for the past few years, describing it as "a fun, fresh experience" that aims to stay true to the series' core elements of tactical action, large-scale operations, and military storytelling. While no title, trailer, or release window was provided, previous reports suggest the project, codenamed Project OVR, will move away from the open-world looter-shooter mechanics of recent titles to embrace a more grounded tactical military approach. This upcoming title will be the first new Ghost Recon game since Breakpoint's 2019 release, potentially marking the longest gap between mainline entries in the series' 25-year history.
Ubisoft has also launched the Ghost Recon Insider Program, inviting players to register for future closed tests of upcoming projects.
