Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be the first major release as part of Ubisoft’s Uplay+ subscription service, which offers a wide library of Ubisoft’s back-catalog along with new releases. It has suffered a few technical hiccups upon launch. If you remain a subscriber as of October 1, you’ll have access to the Ultimate Edition of Breakpoint.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint will launch on October 4 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It is forgoing Steam in favor of the Epic Games Store, as a business decision. You can check out the PC specs to assure your system is ready.

Visual and Animation Glitches

• Players may occasionally experience visual glitches when switching to night vision mode inside Samuel’s cabin.
• Players may see a floating weapon during the Killed in Action screen.
• Some vehicle models are not identical before and after being destroyed.
• When stowing a downed teammate in a vehicle, the animation sometimes does not play, and your teammate is seen standing up in the vehicle.

Save

• Players may in extremely rare cases lose their save data.

Audio

• If a player starts a dialogue with an NPC during co-op, their teammates may hear parts of the dialogue even if they are far away.

Replication Issues

  • Workaround: Other players can revive them.
• Sometimes after reviving a teammate, players can see this teammate still in down-state despite being healed.
  • Workaround: If this occurs, get healed by another player, or wait for the end of the timer and redeploy.

World

• Players may rarely get stuck in some parts of the world.

Gameplay
