News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Investigating Removal of Online Requirements
Update coming in 2020
The always-online requirement that shipped with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint last month has been a thorn in the backside of many of its players, to the point where nearly a third of a recent Ubisoft survey contained responses requesting for its removal. Those still playing the game, who have now been treated to the title's first...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint's First Free Raid Arrives This Thursday on PS4
Project Titan
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint hasn't had the best of times since its lacklustre launch, although French publisher Ubisoft has made its usual commitment to updating and improving the game throughout its lifespan. That really kicks into gear on Thursday with the arrival of the experience's first endgame raid, titled Project Tit
Back in the fight?
And so begins Ubisoft's attempt to transform Ghost Recon: Breakpoint into an overall better game. Weighing in at around 7GB, Patch 1.04 is available to download now on PlayStation 4. The update is the first step in the developer's plan to overhaul the open world shooter, which was received rather poorly when it launched back near...
Breaking point
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint was met with a lot of criticism when it launched last month, with one of the biggest complaints being that its microtransaction store was ridiculous. The game lets players buy hundreds of different items with real money, making for a marketplace that just seems completely tone-deaf in the current climate...
Numerous patches planned
As you may have already heard, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint hasn't been the smash hit that Ubisoft wanted it to be. Last week, the publisher went on record saying that initial reception and sales have been disappointing, but it also said that it was committed to improving the game over time. Today, the team behind Breakpoint has...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Sales Have Been 'Very Disappointing', Says Ubisoft
Pledges support despite bad start
Ubisoft expected the recently released Ghost Recon: Breakpoint to perform better than it has done.

Poll Are You Buying Ghost Recon: Breakpoint?
Breaking point?
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is out today on PlayStation 4 (that's the 4th October, if you happen to be reading this at a later date), and it's safe to say that it's divided opinion.

News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Showcases Auroa and its Enemy in Launch Trailer
£1.99 per view, please
We've been playing Ghost Recon: Breakpoint for the past couple of days, but the game doesn't actually officially release until tomorrow with the launch of the standard version. The Ultimate Edition came with three days early access, and because of that, we've had a taste of what the game's attempting to highlight in its new...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Details Its Impressive Range of Accessibility Options
Fun for all
If there's one thing Ubisoft doesn't get enough credit for, it's accessibility options in its games. Not everyone can play video games in the same way due to a wide range of circumstances, and the publisher often does an admirable job of letting players tweak its titles to best suit their needs. Next up for Ubisoft is Ghost Recon:...
Hands On Ghost Recon: Breakpoint's Open Beta Runs Much Better on PS4
But it's not perfect
We're intrigued by Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Ubisoft's upcoming third-person tactical shooter is more The Division 2 than its predecessor Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and it creates an experience that feels a lot like a Game as a Service would but in a setting that is more than happy to accommodate just the single player. This fact...

Ready up, soldier
Update: The Ghost Recon: Breakpoint beta is now live on PS4: Original Story: The open beta test for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint was meant to get started today on PlayStation 4, but it's failed to materialise.

Many longtime fans of Ghost Recon...
Hands On Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Is Grittier, Better, and Overwhelming
Who forgot to tell us this is Destiny?
If Ghost Recon: Wildlands was the starter, then its sequel feels like the dinners you've been eating for the past week rolled up into one gigantic main course. Seriously, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is huge. We've poured a handful of hours into this past weekend's beta and come away impressed thanks to what appears...

News Ghost Recon: Wildlands' Last Update Before Breakpoint Adds PvPvE Mode
Coming to PS4 tomorrow
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is the next big Ubisoft release, but that doesn't mean its predecessor is going to be forgotten about just yet.

News Thumping Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Trailer Is Its Best Yet
Predator and prey
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has a brand new cinematic trailer complete with thumping electronic music, and we really like it.

We've got the intel
Ubisoft has blown the lid off Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. As many predicted, it's something of a sequel to Ghost Recon: Wildlands, inheriting a lot of its features while also adding to the formula.

Rumour Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Leaks Ahead of Its Official Announcement
Couldn't ghost that one

So you're just looking for something that's not too involved. Maybe you can grind away the hours on Monster Hunter: World? Not a bad idea. Or...
News Ghost Recon: Wildlands' Sam Fisher References Metal Gear Solid
"Then it's only me..."
Oh no, this one hit us hard. Back when the PS2 vs Xbox console war was at its height, Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher was always pitted as Microsoft's answer to Solid Snake – before the stealth classics made their way over to the PlayStation 2 of course. With the demise of the Metal Gear Solid franchise following the...
News Predator Stalks Ghost Recon: Wildlands Starting Tomorrow
Limited event planned

Ghost busters

News The Bolivian Government Isn't Happy with Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Issues a formal complaint to France
Ghost Recon: Wildlands tells a fictitious story, but one that takes place in an existing nation.
