The "Ghost Recon: Wildlands" current-gen upgrade may have leaked just days before Ubisoft's 25th anniversary showcase. Fans have been waiting for news about the tactical shooter franchise, and a PlayStation Store listing appears to have revealed one of the biggest announcements ahead of the official event.
If the leak proves accurate, "Ghost Recon: Wildlands" will receive a free upgrade that brings several modern enhancements to current-generation consoles.
'Ghost Recon: Wildlands' Current-Gen Upgrade Reportedly Revealed
According to reports shared by the Ghost Recon community on Reddit, the PlayStation Store briefly displayed a listing for a free current-generation upgrade for Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
The update is expected to improve the game's overall performance and visual quality on PlayStation 5. Leaked features include native 4K resolution, 60 frames per second, enhanced 3D audio, and much faster loading speeds by taking advantage of the PS5's SSD.
The listing also mentions expanded DualSense support. Players can reportedly experience improved haptic feedback, making combat, driving, and exploration feel more immersive.
Best of all, the upgrade is said to be free for existing owners of the game.
New Last Rites Story Pack Could Expand the Campaign
The leak also references a brand-new Last Rites story pack, GameSpot spotted.
Ubisoft has not officially revealed what the expansion contains. However, many expect it to introduce new missions and extend the game's existing storyline.
Alongside the additional content, the update is also rumored to include several quality-of-life improvements. These changes could improve gameplay performance, stability, and the overall player experience.
Although the leaked listing focused on PlayStation, many fans believe similar upgrades will also arrive on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Ubisoft Preparing for Ghost Recon's Future
Rumors about a current-gen upgrade first surfaced in July. Ubisoft later confirmed that it would celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary with a special presentation on August 6.
The event is expected to highlight both the series' history and its future.
Following the company's internal restructuring, "Ghost Recon" is now managed by Creative House 2. The division also oversees other major Ubisoft franchises, including The Division and Splinter Cell.
The organizational change signals Ubisoft's continued investment in its tactical shooter lineup.
What Fans Can Expect Next
Released in 2017, "Ghost Recon: Wildlands" became one of Ubisoft's most successful open-world shooters. Its sequel, "Ghost Recon: Breakpoint," struggled to match that success despite receiving years of post-launch support.
Mixed reviews, gameplay concerns, and the game's NFT integration limited its long-term popularity before Ubisoft ended support in 2022.
The publisher has already confirmed that a brand-new "Ghost Recon" game is in development. Company executives have described it as a first-person shooter, marking a major shift from the third-person perspective that has defined the series for nearly two decades.
More information is expected during Ubisoft's anniversary showcase, where the company is likely to reveal the next chapter of the long-running Ghost Recon franchise.
