Try the first five hours for free.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands now has a free five-hour trial on both PS4 and Xbox One.
This new demo supports both single-player and online co-op, so you can get a proper feel for the tactical open-world shooter by hopping into a game with friends.
This isn't the first time Ubisoft has offered a timed trial for one of its flagship games, as it decided to let players try out of the first three hours of Watch Dogs 2 shortly after that game's release. The difference is that Watch Dogs 2 sold poorly at launch and needed to lure people towards it, whereas Ghost Recon: Wildlands has been selling like gangbusters.
The news comes just a fortnight after Ubisoft announced a PvP open beta for Wildlands. The game launched without any form of player-versus-player mode in March, but the new competitive multiplayer suite is coming at some point soon with a free beta "later in the summer."
There has been a great deal of post-launch support for the game, with multiple DLC expansions and free updates, including a recent one that added a new difficulty mode, Tier 1. We also learned last month that Wildlands was the best-selling game through the first half of 2017 around much of the world.
We enjoyed Wildlands when it launched earlier this year, though it did have its problems. "As only the second open-world game in the Clancyverse," wrote critic Miguel Concepcion, "Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a middlingly safe tactical shooter and a slightly wasted opportunity given the ambitious scope of its seemingly boundless map. While its main strength is its mission diversity, it doesn't take long to lose the motivation after reaching El Sueno's doorstep. Even with a foursome of highly trained friends, Wildlands eventually reveals its diminishing returns. The feeling of positive immediacy and dopamine hits begin to wane sooner than you expected from a game with such a large and diverse world.
