Ubisoft has released Ghost Recon Wildlands: Last Rites, a major free update available now for Xbox Series X|S. Headed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, the patch delivers a native 4K and 60 FPS upgrade alongside a new narrative-driven mission and a slate of community-requested gameplay tweaks.

Quick Facts

  • Release Date: August 6, 2026
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S (also available via Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ Premium for Xbox)
  • Key Additions: 4K/60 FPS support, La Llorona story mission, return of the Predator boss fight, and Ghost Parameters custom settings

New Mission and Returning Boss Fight

The update centers on an all-new story-driven mission where the Ghosts confront a new antagonist named La Llorona and her fanatic cult, Los Penitentes, who are operating across Bolivia. Alongside this campaign content, the update restores the challenging Predator mission. Ubisoft confirmed that the showdown with the iconic hunter has been preserved intact without alterations to its original difficulty.

Players can jump into the Last Rites content straight from the main menu. Progressing through the update does not spoil the main campaign, and rewards earned from the Predator mission or Last Rites can be carried over between modes.

Customization and Ghost Parameters

Drawing on nearly a decade of player data, the development team integrated expanded roleplaying and tactical options inspired by community feedback and Ghost Recon Breakpoint's Ghost Experience. These include:

  • UI Adjustments: Ability to hide throwable trajectory previews and interactive object shaders, with audio cues tied to hidden UI elements automatically deactivating.
  • Ghost Parameters: Tactical reloading options that discard remaining ammo in magazines, toggles for one or two primary weapons, and adjustable limits for team revives from none to limitless.
  • World and Session Settings: Host-controlled toggles to lock the time of day and weather to fixed states, adjust enemy patrol rates, and make the destruction of SAM launchers and alarms permanent within a session.
  • Team Composition: AI teammate toggles now allow players to select exactly one, two, or three companions instead of an all-or-nothing switch.
  • Granular Difficulty: Sliders and toggles to adjust vehicle durability, enemy perception, and HP regeneration delays.

Platform Access and Free Play Days

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Last Rites is available at no additional cost to existing owners on Xbox Series X|S. The title is also accessible via Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+ Premium for Xbox. For new players, Xbox Free Play Days runs through August 9, allowing users to test the game and carry over campaign progress if they purchase the title afterward.
