Insider claims Ghost Recon: Wildlands could join PS Plus this month for higher tier members
An insider known as billbil-kun, famed for leaks that frequently prove correct, says another title will join the PlayStation Plus lineup as a free download this month. The alleged distribution would be limited to players with the Extra and Premium subscription levels, rather than all PS Plus members.
The game in question is Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands. This entry in the Ghost Recon series is an open world military shooter that supports both single player and multiplayer modes. Ubisoft released the game in 2017, and the PlayStation 4 version holds a Metacritic score around 70. The possibility of Wildlands joining PS Plus adds another layer to the ongoing strategy by Sony to deliver high value titles through its subscription service. Whether this leak becomes reality remains to be seen, but it aligns with the recent pattern of selective availability tied to higher tier memberships.
As a backdrop, PS Plus has recently featured a rotation of popular titles including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 plus 2, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Little Nightmares. These games have been available for free for a limited window, with the current promotion running through early September. The ongoing slate of free games demonstrates Sony’s approach to leveraging classic and modern favorites to maintain subscriber engagement, especially among fans who value both retro and contemporary experiences. The cycle of monthly gifts helps players build a broad library without additional purchases, a dynamic that fuels discussion about game lifecycles and the way modern platforms curate content for loyal users. Citations and user discussions surrounding these titles underscore a shared anticipation for what might appear next in the service’s catalog. [Citation: VG Times]
Any potential confirmation would likely come from official Sony communications or credible, corroborated leaks that point to timing, regional availability, and tiered access. For now, readers can stay tuned as the rumor mill continues to churn, with the understanding that changes to PS Plus libraries are common near the middle of a subscription cycle. The evolving nature of digital game distribution means players should verify their own subscription level and regional eligibility when assessing any free game announcements. [Citation: VG Times]
