What is Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts?

A first-person action shooter about a paid assassin taking contracts in Siberia’s mountains, forests, and hidden bases. You scan areas, stalk targets, line up long-range shots, use gadgets, and choose between sniping and silent takedowns. Contracts have set objectives and cash rewards, with optional challenges funding upgrades; online PvP is also available.

Not for you if...

What players say

73% of 13,309 reviews are positive · 69% of 92 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the deliberate sniping, bullet physics, large sandbox maps, and freedom to approach objectives in different ways. The most common complaint is the lack of manual saves: sparse or poorly placed checkpoints can erase substantial progress; players also report bugs and inconsistent enemy detection.
