‘Ghost Recon Wildlands’ to get two major expansions, free player-vs.-player update

Ubisoft has been on a tear with its promotion of Buy Now . From a live-action prequel movie featuring rapper T.I to the soon-to-be-released documentary exploring the South American drug trade, it appears Ubisoft has high hopes that players will be enthralled by its upcoming third-person tactical shooter. If the open-beta, which boasted a Ubisoft record 6.8 million users, is any indication, Wildlands has gamers intrigued.

Just ahead of the game’s March 7 launch, Ubisoft has now announced post-launch content plans on the game’s official website. Wildlands users can look forward to both paid and free content in the months following launch. The post-content trailer can be viewed above.

First, the paid plans. Like many games, Wildlands has a season pass containing two major expansions: “Narco Road” and “Fallen Ghosts.” In Narco Road, players will go undercover with three groups of smugglers and partake in more than a dozen “eccentric” high-octane missions. The end goal is to gain the trust of each gang’s leader and take them out. In Fallen Ghosts, your chopper is shot down, forcing you to find your way to safety while a brigade of ruthless mercenaries hunts you and your team down.

The expansions can be purchased separately, but season pass holders get access a week early. The season pass also includes two additional missions — the Unidad Conspiracy and the Peruvian Connection (also available as a pre-order bonus) — additional weapons and vehicles, and permanent experience bonuses.

A price for the pass wasn’t available as of publication, but we do know that the $100 Gold Edition comes bundled with the season pass.

As for free content, much like Ubisoft’s most recent game, Buy Now , Wildlands will be broken up into month-and-a-half seasons with specific themes. The first “Season of Challenges” begins shortly after launch. Rewards will be given to you and your squad for completing objectives.

A few months down the line, Wildlands will also receive a free update that adds adversarial mode. This player-versus-player mode pits squads of four against one another.

Ghost Recon Wildlands comes to Buy Now , Buy Now , and Buy Now March 7. Ghost Recon HQ, the game’s companion app, is available on iOS and Android now.

We're officially in the throes of summer and, depending on where you live, suffering through the incredible heat. While I always think it's good to get out and enjoy the summer, there's a limit on how much sun we can take and need to head inside to relax with some cool Game Pass games. I'm especially excited for this weekend because there's one game here that not only screams summer, but also tickles that nostalgic part of my brain. I think even newcomers will love that pick, but I always throw in two other options just in case you're looking for something a bit different. Make sure you check out my last pick because I know you've never heard of it, and it might just be your weekend obsession.

The best Mario Kart tracks, ranked
mario-kart-world-yoshi-racers-gm

It might come as a bit of a shock if you haven't been paying attention, but Mario Kart is far and away the most popular Nintendo franchise. That's right, not even the mainline Mario games or best Pokémon games sell as many copies as this kart racer. With entries going back to the SNES all the way up to the Switch 2, there have been hundreds of tracks across the franchise now. The best tracks take full advantage of that game's mechanics, feature fun and colorful locales to drive through, and have popping soundtracks to keep the energy high. I've been playing this franchise since it first began and have poured an embarrassing number of hours into each mainline game. To justify that commitment, I'm ranking the 10 best Mario Kart tracks of all time.
