Ghost Recon: Future Soldier presented on PC June 12
You're not going to believe this, but Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is coming out later on PC than on consoles. A PC delay from Ubisoft? Unthinkable. But it's true: the publisher announced today that the PC release will be available in stores and online June 12, following the May 22 launch on consoles. The release date for the UK is June 15.
You can find the full specs after the break. As for DRM, Ubi says "A temporary broadband connection will be required for one-time product registration at first launch using the player Uplay account. From that point on, no permanent connection is required, except for online modes."
