Ubisoft has announced that Ghost Recon: Breakpoint will be free-to-play between November 4 - 7 to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary.
Fans will be able to download and play the entire game between the set period, with any progression being saved and carried across to the full game for anyone who wishes to purchase it.
To make things easier, Ubisoft has also provided the times the game will be playable:
While Ghost Recon: Breakpoint has had a loyal fanbase over the years, the upcoming battle royale-style FPS, Ghost Recon Frontline, has got off to a difficult start so far.
The game has suffered an extremely negative reaction following its unveiling last month. Currently, the YouTube video of the trailer is outweighed massively with downvotes. Whether the final release will find an audience is up in the air, but it's not seeming likely.

I bought it for 12 quid, a couple months after launch, still play it now. It's brainless but I keep coming back for a mindless run about and shooty shooty. Hopefully the upgrade for Series consoles is fancy enough. I get why it is hated but it's worth a look. The premise was so good and the survival element suited the setting. It probably should never have been a Ghost recon game, I wonder if they'd named it something else entirely - would it have gotten an easier ride?
I put about 100 hours into Breakpoint. It was a guilty pleasure for a while. I'm not gonna say it was a great game, but it scratched an itch.
I've been wanting to see what the next gen upgrade looks like, but I have a physical copy of the game and own a Series S, so I'm gonna use this free-play weekend to see what the differences are and what the new mode is like.
I guess it's just classic Ubisoft to celebrate its 35th anniversary with making one of its worst games a freebie for a few days. That's how much Ubisoft cares about its paying audience.
Just picked this up, figured getting the "ultimate edition" for less than $25 makes it a good way to finally check this game out. I enjoyed Wildlands a lot more than I thought I would, I know this isn't as good but I figure by now with the Series X enhancement and all it should be fun at least.
