Future Soldier is the fifth main game in the Ghost Recon series.

Just like the other installments it is a tactical 3rd-person shooter where a strategic approach based on cover and stealth is favoured over going in all guns blazing.

The game is set in 2024 and the main campaign consists of twelve missions.

It starts in Nicaragua where the ghost team Predator attempts to disrupt weapon trafficking in the region.

During the mission the team is killed by a dirty bomb and afterwards a new team called Hunter is sent in to investigate the bomb's source.

The player controls the team of four soldiers through a story that takes them to Bolivia, Zambia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Norway and Russia.

The game is played from third-person perspective but switches to first-person while aiming down the sights.

Enemies can be taken out with guns but also with silent melee attacks.

The soldiers can move around freely in the environment, usually from cover to cover, and have access to adaptive camouflage that renders them invisible when moving slowly and it is enabled or disabled automatically.

Cover can be destroyed and while under attack or shooting the camouflage is removed.

Another part of the equipment is magnetics, a view that makes all metallic objects pop out in the environment.

Before starting a mission the loadout is determined, based on a primary and a secondary weapon, and two items.

Guns can be fully customized in the Gunsmith mode where various attachments and modifications can be applied.

Combinations can also be tested on a firing range before starting a mission.

Other equipment includes sensor grenades, airstrikes, and remote-controlled drones.

The drone provides an aerial view, has its own camouflage and a sonic blast to disorient enemies, and can be used to mark opponents next to using a scope.

One mission features the War Hound, a remote-controlled heavy robot.

Players can prioritize targets using Sync Shot, where up to four can be marked for a synchronized takedown by the

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Essentials) for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Essentials) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2012.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (Essentials), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
