Far Cry 5 Free Weekend Available Now On All Platforms

Ubisoft announced that there’s a Far Cry 5 free weekend available now on all platforms. The entire game will be accessible, both in solo and co-op modes, starting at these times:

• PC via Ubisoft Store: 5th August at 2 pm BST
• PC via Epic Games Store: 5th August at 6 pm BST
• PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4: 5th August at 8.01 am BST
• Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One: 5th August at 8:01 am BST
• Stadia: 5th August at 6 pm BST

Far Cry 5 is also heavily discounted (up to 85%) on all platforms. That includes both the base game and its DLCs. The game, launched in March 2018, was rated 9.1 out of 10 by our Kai Powell.

With Far Cry 6 due in a couple of months (October 7th is its launch date following a few delays), Ubisoft is clearly trying to get more fans into the franchise. Are you planning to visit Hope County in Far Cry 5 thanks to this free weekend?

If you’re wondering whether bringing the madness to our doorstep, making the entire campaign co-op and including an impressive toolbox to create new levels and missions while still retaining that visceral gunplay the series is known for keeps Far Cry 5 fresh and worth playing on Day One, my answer is: yes, absolutely.
