The PC version of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is available at no cost through Ubisoft Connect, and once you claim it, the game is yours to keep permanently. The offer is tied to the Ghost Recon series’ 25th anniversary and runs until August 13.
Quick answer: Sign in to Ubisoft Connect, open the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier page, add it to your library before August 13, and it stays yours forever. Do not buy it on PC, because claiming it is free.
How to claim Future Soldier free on Ubisoft Connect
You know it worked when Future Soldier shows up in your Ubisoft Connect games list and is available to download. Unlike the free weekend for other titles, this is a keep-forever giveaway, not a temporary trial.
Deadline and what the offer covers
The free-to-keep window closes on August 13. As long as you add Future Soldier to your library before that cutoff, it remains yours even after the promotion ends. The giveaway applies to the PC version through Ubisoft Connect.
Note: Future Soldier’s online services have already been retired, so multiplayer and in-game news are no longer active. The offline campaign and features remain fully playable, so you can jump straight into the single-player without needing a server connection.
Ghost Recon franchise sale prices
Alongside the giveaway, the wider Ghost Recon catalog and its DLC are discounted by up to 95% across Xbox, PlayStation, Ubisoft Connect, and Steam. If you want the rest of the series, these are the standout prices.
| Game | Sale price |
|---|---|
| Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon | $1 |
| Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands | $2.50 |
| Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint | $3 |
Future Soldier is also part of that sale, but there is no reason to pay for it on PC while the free claim is running. Grab it through the giveaway instead and save the discount for the other titles.
Wildlands and Breakpoint free-play period
Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ghost Recon Breakpoint are free to play on PC and consoles until August 10. This is a limited free-play window, not a keep-forever giveaway, so your access ends when the period closes unless you buy the game during the sale.
What Future Soldier is and how it plays
Future Soldier is a tactical cover shooter that puts you in a four-man Ghost Team of special operations soldiers kitted out with experimental gear, including near-invisible cloaking camouflage. The campaign moves through Bolivia, Zambia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, and Norway as the squad handles international coups and a nuclear threat aimed at London.
Core mechanics revolve around tagging enemies on foot or by drone to set up synchronized takedowns, then using a dynamic cover system to flank and clear rooms. The game originally launched on Xbox 360 and PS3 in May 2012 before arriving on PC that June, and it holds a Metacritic score of 79.
PC system requirements
Before claiming, check that your PC can run the game. It was built for Windows 7 but runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 7 (runs on Windows 10 and 11) |
| Processor | Intel Core2 Quad Q9450 / AMD Phenom II X4 940 or higher |
| Memory | 3 GB |
| Graphics | 1024 MB DirectX-compliant, Shader 4.0 card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or AMD/ATI HD 5850 or better) |
| DirectX | DirectX 11 |
| Hard drive | 25 GB |
| Sound | DirectX 11-compliant sound card |
The one thing to remember is the deadline. Add Future Soldier to your Ubisoft Connect library before August 13 and it stays with your account for good, no matter when you decide to actually install and play it.
