Ghost Recon Breakpointplayers have been waiting for quite some time now for a large-scale patch to fix issues they’ve been dealing with since launch, but unfortunately, they’ll have to wait a bit longer. Ubisoft’sGhost Recon Breakpointteam pushed back the release of a major “immersive mode” update just a week before its originally scheduled launch; now, the new mode won’t be arriving until the spring.
Breakpoint’s launch wasn’t too long ago in October 2019, butUbisoft reported that sales were lowupon release, and since then the developer has been trying to fix and adjust gameplay where possible to make the game better for its players. The immersive mode update was expected to go a long way towards doing just that, as it was designed in response to direct player feedback on the base game.

Now, interested players can check back next week on March 5, when Ubisoft has promised an “intel drop” on the mysterious immersive mode. Currently, there aren’t too many details to be found, beyond the fact that its creation was fueled by asurvey of theBreakpointcommunity.
