Far Cry 6 is free all this weekend – plus major discounts on the full game

metro.co.uk:

This weekend, you can play Far Cry 6 and some of its associated DLC for free, with the game being upwards of 60% off across all platforms.

Multiplayer games will often have free weekends to entice new players, but it’s not uncommon for singe-player games to offer them as well, such as Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6.

The publisher has announced that, as of right now, you can play Far Cry 6 for free up until Sunday, August 7 across all available platforms. So that’s PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and even Google Stadia and Amazon Luna.

Much like the Avengers free weekend last year, you’re not just getting access to a portion of the game; you can play and feasibly complete the entire story campaign if you have the time.

Aside from the full game, the offer also extends to all the free DLC missions, like the Danny Trejo and Stranger Things crossovers, and you can even play the game in co-op with a friend.

In case you’re wondering, it doesn’t include the paid expansions that let you play as past villains like Vaas from Far Cry 3.

To further encourage potential new customers, Ubisoft is running discounts on the game and season pass too. Although, for some reason, the discounts differ slightly depending on the platform.

On PC via the Ubisoft Store, you have until August 16 to get 60% off the standard, Gold, and Ultimate editions of the game, and 50% off the season pass and the three villain DLC episodes, plus £5 credit to put towards your next Ubisoft Store purchase.

If you’re playing the game via the Epic Game Store, you have only until August 8 to get the same discounts, and there’s no extra credit either.

For Xbox owners, only the standard and Gold editions are available, but you have until August 15 and they’re at the same discount of 60%. The season
