Ghost Recon Wildlands has been growing continually since its launch, adding the Ghost War PVP mode, Xbox One X Enhanced features, missions with special guest stars, and more through a series of free updates. If you’ve waited until now to team up with friends and start hunting the Santa Blanca cartel, you’re in luck, because Ghost Recon Wildlands will be available free to Xbox Live Gold members this weekend.
Beginning at 12:01 a.m. PT on Thursday, September 20, you can download Ghost Recon Wildlands from the Microsoft Store and jump straight into Ghost War or start playing the campaign solo or with up to three co-op buddies. All free updates since launch will be active, which means you’ll also be able to hunt the Predator, team up with Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher, and join forces with a few of Rainbow Six Siege’s Operators in the field.
The free weekend lasts until 10:00 a.m. PT on Monday, September 24, and if you want to keep playing once it’s over, you can purchase Ghost Recon Wildlands for 60% off the Standard Edition, or 40% off two newly launched editions: the Year 2 Gold Edition (which includes the Year 2 Pass, granting one-week early access to all six Year 2 Ghost War classes, along with special equipment packs) and Ultimate Edition (including the Year 2 Pass and Season Pass Year 1 – which includes the Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts expansions – along with additional perks, weapons, and gear).
The sale runs until Monday, October 1, so move fast – and in the meantime, grab some friends and start exploring one of the biggest open worlds on Xbox One in Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Out of the Shadows Comes the Ninja Class in TERA on Xbox One

Inside Xbox Returns September 25 with Forza Horizon 4 and Much More
Starting today, TERA’s action combat gets even deadlier with the introduction of an exciting new playable character class on Xbox One: the ninja.
The ninja is a quick, mobile damage-dealer with a mystical connection to divine fire. Ninjas chop, stab, and slice their way through enemies, and can dodge through enemy attacks with ease.
Every hit of the ninja’s punishing seven-hit basic attack combo also decreases the cooldowns of your main skill combo of Decoy Jutsu, Double Cut, and Skyfall—all of which chain off the same button!
But what really sets the ninja apart is her ability to focus her Chi into some spectacular fire-based skills. Burning Heart shoots a steady stream of fireballs at your enemies, and Fire Avalanche executes a powerful diving attack that can knock an enemy flat on its back. And with enough Chi, you can attack up to three times with Fire Avalanche before it goes on cooldown.
The ninja is also a fantastic team player, whether she’s up front dealing damage to everyone in sight, or leading enemies into traps set by the back line. Once you hit level 20, use your glyph points to maximize skill cooldowns and the chance to crit—you don’t ever want to be caught flat-footed in combat, and your allies are depending on you to have their back(stab)s!
The ninja class is available starting today as part of a free update for TERA on Xbox One! Log in to TERA before October 8 and you’ll even receive a free additional character slot that you can use to create a ninja or any one of TERA’s action-packed character classes!

For the latest Team Xbox Q&A, I chatted with Randy from the Xbox Avatars Team. I’ve partnered with Randy on several projects related to Xbox Avatars over the last few months and was excited for this opportunity to catch up. Here’s what he had to say:
Hi, Randy! Thanks for taking some time out of your busy schedule to chat with me. Mind letting our Xbox Insiders know what you currently do for Team Xbox?
Hello Savannah! Super excited to chat, especially for our Xbox Insiders! I’m currently the Senior Program Manager for the Xbox Avatars program for Xbox One and Windows 10.
And how long have you been with the company? Any other cool projects you helped with prior to the new Xbox Avatar Editor?
I’ve been with the company since 2004, so over 14 years now! I’ve been working on gaming technology for almost the same amount of time. Over the last 13 years I’ve worked on a bunch of features for console and PC, for core tech and games. For Xbox, I worked on technology including the Blades, Kinect, New Xbox Experience, and New Xbox One Experience. Aside from both generations of Avatars, I also worked on Bing Search for Xbox 360. I particularly liked Bing Search’s ability to find which video streaming service currently had a particular movie. I also worked on a few of the online features that went into Gears of War 2, Lips, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, and our Gaming SDKs (Software Development Kits).
How did the Xbox 360 Avatar system guide you and your team’s work with the new Xbox Avatar Editor? Was there any particular feedback you took from that era and used to guide your efforts?
We agreed very early that we wanted to bring the best parts of the Xbox Original Avatar, add to that expressive goodness, and make it better. Almost all of our changes were based on feedback collected over the last ten years. For example, we knew we wanted to get rid of gender specific clothing to give people more freedom to customize. We also wanted to add more skin color options for Avatars, and now we offer blue, green, and other creative hues. Other common requests included more inclusive body choices, different body shapes, more categories to customize, and more content in the Closet and Store. We took all that feedback to heart when we started working on the new Xbox Avatar character and Editor.
Our Xbox Insiders were some of the first community members to get their hands on the Avatar Editor. As a program, we were super excited to share such a cool feature early, but how has previewing the app since summer helped improve the overall product?
It’s helped us tremendously! Not only did we get feedback on the overall Avatar Editor (we really appreciate all the issues submitted from Report a problem!), but all the suggestions from the Xbox Insider community have been invaluable. For example, when we launched in the Xbox Insider Program, we just had a subset of the full collection of hair, tops, and bottoms available. However, we didn’t expect that hair and facial hair would be deemed the most important assets by Xbox Insiders. Because of this, we asked our content creation team to prioritize creating more hair and facial hair assets in response. Feedback like this has evolved the Avatar Editor and our character to a level we wouldn’t have been able to achieve without input from Xbox Insiders.
Everyone loves customizing their Avatar, including me – in fact, I was over the moon when I saw that overalls were an apparel option. As the PM of the new Xbox Avatar Editor, what’s your favorite Avatar accessory?
My favorite so far is a combination of the Frustrated Mood with the Soccer Ball Prop; seeing someone one so frustrated while still gleefully juggling a soccer ball makes me crack up every time. The Superhero Mood and the limited-edition Xbox Insider shirt are a very, very close second and…one other asset I can’t talk about yet!
Moving away from Avatars, are there any games you’re playing and really enjoying right now?
Since going digital I find that I swap between games often. I pick up a game or two at a time in Forza Horizon, Fortnite, Overwatch, Rocket League, all the Halos, and Rock Band with a back compat ION drumkit. I also love Overcooked but I’m awful at it, most games end with a frazzled rage quit, but I keep coming back!
One question we try to ask every member of Team Xbox is whether they’re particularly proud of any one achievement. So what about you, Randy, got any cool achievement stories to share?
Every single rare ‘chievo I got from Frozen Free Fall. To be fair, I think my favorite achievement was one I never got a chance to get: the Anonymous Red-Shirt Award from Star Trek: Legacy, awarded for the first player killed in a multiplayer game. I could never die quickly enough to grab it!
You’ve been, and remain, active on the Xbox Insider subreddit throughout the 1810 preview window. Is there anywhere else our audience can look out for you?
I’ll still be active on the Xbox Insider subreddit as RandyNoArms for a while. I can also be found on the Xbox and Xbox Reddit servers on Discord, as well as Xbox Live, using my Gamertag: Randy.
Thanks so much for chatting with us today, Randy, and for the awesome new Xbox Avatars!
