Ubisoft Connect Giveaway: Get a Free PC Copy of Ghost Recon Until Aug 13

Ubisoft is offering a free PC copy of a major Ghost Recon title for a limited window, with the claim period running until August 13. The giveaway is being handled through Ubisoft Connect, and it arrives as part of a broader push to make older Ubisoft games easier to access for players on other platforms.

Key takeaways

• Ubisoft is giving away Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier on PC for $0 via Ubisoft Connect.
• The offer runs only until August 13.
• Future Soldier is a 2012 third-person tactical shooter starring an elite “Ghost” squad.
• Ubisoft Connect users need to claim and download the game before the deadline.
• Separately, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint are also available free on Xbox through Xbox’s Game Days promotion.

Claim Ghost Recon Future Soldier free on Ubisoft Connect

Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier—a game originally released in 2012—is being offered completely free on PC. The publisher positions it as a full discount (not a partial price cut), noting that the game’s usual retail cost is roughly in the €20 range.

To get it, players only need to open Ubisoft Connect on PC and then claim and download the title from there. Ubisoft also makes it clear that the window is short, urging players to act quickly because August 13 is the cutoff date.

Future Soldier puts you in command of an elite Ghost team tasked with stopping a war between the United States and Russia. While the story is straightforward, Ubisoft notes the gameplay’s familiar military-shooter setup: at the time of its release, many shooters cast the U.S. as heroes and Russia as antagonists. The game’s “future” theme is reinforced with high-tech gear and tools such as active camouflage, drones, and other advanced weaponry. Missions take players across multiple settings including Africa, Russia, and the Arctic.

More Ghost Recon freebies: Xbox promotion and Wildlands’ update

Future Soldier isn’t the only Ghost Recon-related freebie making waves right now. Ubisoft also highlights that, through Xbox’s Game Days Free promotion, players can access Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint for free on Xbox consoles.

In addition, Ubisoft calls attention to Ghost Recon Wildlands: Last Rites, describing it as a significant free content update that adds a new story mission, expands customization options, and includes improvements to the popular open-world Ubisoft title.

Ubisoft is also building momentum around the franchise, stating that it is working on a new Ghost Recon game, though the publisher hasn’t shared further specifics yet. For now, the takeaway for players is clear: there are multiple ways to jump into the Ghost Recon lineup—either via the PC giveaway on Ubisoft Connect or through the Xbox free-play window.
