Ghost Recon Breakpoint was launched last fall to very little fanfare. It seemed to fly a bit under the radar, though, that's what a good Ghost does.

Today the game's publisher has unveiled all that is going into the soundtrack.
When Ghost Recon: Breakpoint released late in 2019 it was met with a less than stellar reception. This in turn led developer Ubisoft to remap the game’s focus and direction for the future. We now seem to be at the first step of that new plan, with the impending release of the “Ghost Experience,” which comes to all platforms March 24th. As laid out in their post, Ubisoft’s Ghost Mode breaks the game into three modes: Regular, Immersive and Custom. Regular is how the game was released originally, Immersive removes gear levels and tiered loot so players can simply be Ghosts, and Custom allows players to mix and match different gameplay settings as they see fit.

Additionally, completing special Alerts on the weekends throughout the month of March results in unlocking anniversary gifts (ranging from cosmetics for your Warframe to weapons) from the past 6 years of the game, regardless of how much (or how little) you’ve played - what a happy birth month!

At PAX East a few weeks ago, Gearbox had some news to share about their popular loot-shooter, Borderlands 3. The six month Epic Games Store exclusivity deal comes to an end today so you can now purchase the title on Steam (yes, purchase; owning it on Epic does not get you the Steam version).
