Haven’t played Far Cry 6 yet? Don’t worry, now you can spend your weekend doing exactly that.
Ubisoft has announced that until August 8, the game is free to play on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Ubisoft Connect, Stadia, and the Epic Games Store. What’s even better is that the promotion is available for not only the base game, but all of its DLCs.
Any progress you make this weekend will carry over into the full game if you decide to purchase it, so you can pick up right where you left off.
If you aren’t familiar with Far Cry 6, it is - as the name suggests - the sixth mainline instalment of the Far Cry series, Ubisoft’s popular first-person shooter franchise. This particular outing takes place in Yara, a fictional island under the control of dictator Antón Castillo and his son Diego who is following in his tyrannical father’s footsteps. The game launches you into an adrenaline-filled, action packed adventure in which you play as guerilla warrior Dani Rojas, a local Yaran whose mission is to overthrow Castillo’s brutal regime.

It’s a supersized playground of chaos and helicopters and unexpected rooster content and things that explode and will last you well into 2022.”
