Ghost Recon Wildlands appears to be getting a 4K60fps update on current-gen consoles

Ubisoft has been one of the better publishers when it comes to updating its 8th-gen titles for modern platforms. While the extent of each patch has varied, Ghost Recon Wildlands appears to be set to receive a pretty substantial update, with users noting marketing materials advertising an upcoming 4K60FPS ‘Definitive Edition.’

As reported by multiple users, Ubisoft appears to be gearing up to announce a ‘Definitive Edition’ of 2017’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Taking to the game’s subreddit, users shared a splash screen which seems to confirm that Ghost Recon Wildlands will be receiving an update in August, bringing some cosmetic packs alongside a ‘new mission’.

By far the most exciting part of the update however is the fact that Wildlands will seemingly be updated with full 4K and 60fps support (compared to its current 1440p 30fps offering).

Of course, we will have to wait for official confirmation from Ubisoft themselves before jumping to conclusions. That being said, the publisher has somewhat acknowledged the leaks, recently taking to Twitter to write: “It’s been a while Ghosts! We know some of you saw some updates, we’ll have more to say on the 6th of August when we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Ghost Recon. Intel coming soon.”

Given that the August date lines up with the aforementioned splash screen, it’s safe to assume that the information is legit. It will be interesting to learn whether this update will bring with it a bespoke current-gen app, or if it will function more as a backwards compatible+ type of experience. We shouldn’t have to wait long to find out.
