Ubisoft released Ghost Recon Wildlands: Last Rites, a free update, on August 6, 2026, according to Xbox Wire and PlayStation Blog — though the release date is unconfirmed by any other outlet. It includes a new story mission featuring La Llorona, the return of the Predator mission, and community-driven features. The update is available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation consoles, according to the same sources, which alone report these platform details, though they are unconfirmed by any other outlet. Platform-specific details and some conflicting information between official sources remain.

Microsoft is testing a free, ad-supported option to stream games from a player's existing library, according to The Verge and Android Authority. Both outlets agree sessions are capped at one hour, that ads run before play rather than during it, and that players can opt out of watching ads. The Verge reports the test began for Xbox Insiders on July 23, 2026, and is time-limited — a claim carried by The Verge alone and not corroborated by any other outlet; Android Authority, which alone attributes this detail to a specific source, says Microsoft revealed it in a blog post the same week as a separate backward-compatibility announcement — though no other outlet, including The Verge, names a blog post as the source. Key details about the ads, rollout and pricing remain unreported.
