Ghost Recon Wildlands, the 2017 third-person shooter from Ubisoft, will get its free 4K, 60fps native PS5 upgrade from tomorrow, 6th August.

That’s according to a leaked PS Store listing, which also confirms support for 3D audio, DualSense haptic feedback, and faster SSD loading times.

All existing owners of the game will be able to upgrade to the native PS5 release for free, although disc-based owners will need to ensure the Blu-ray is in their console’s drive whenever they want to play.

Meanwhile, everyone will be able to try the title free of charge between 6th August and 10th August, as part of a promotional free weekend. Any progress you make during that period will transfer to the full release, should you decide to buy it at a later date.

If all that’s not enough, there’ll be a free mission named Last Rites available for all players, so even if you’ve already played this campaign to death, you’ll find something new to do here.

The game is currently discounted to $4.99/£4.49 as part of Sony’s Summer Sale until 12th August, so take advantage of that if you want to get the free PS5 upgrade.

It’s also included in the PS Plus Extra catalogue.

We thought Wildlands lacked a little identity in our 6/10 review, but like most Ubisoft games, it’s enjoyed some real longevity through post-release updates. The fact it’s getting a native PS5 version almost a decade after launch is testament to that.

Will you be trying this out? We’ll bring you the full trailer and official news once Ubisoft announces it, presumably tomorrow.
