The entire game and all of its free DLC so far will be included in the trial

Far Cry 6 will be free to play this weekend, Ubisoft has announced.

The entire game and all the free DLC released so far will be free to play until August 8 on Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Stadia and PC.

The game has also received steep discounts, with PC players able to get 60% off all editions of the game, and 50% off the Season Pass and all three DLCs.

Until August 15, Xbox players can get 60% off Standard and Gold editions of the game, and 50% off the Season Pass.

Until August 17, PlayStation players can get 55% off the Deluxe edition and 60% off the Ultimate edition, as part of the PlayStation Store’s Summer Sale.

Since its release last October, Far Cry 6 has added new Special Operations and free crossover missions featuring Danny Trejo, Rambo and Stranger Things.

It’s also added three major downloadable content episodes as part of the Season Pass – Vaas: Insanity, Pagan: Control, and Joseph: Collapse.

The latest entry in the long-running series was released last October and some of its more negative reviews, including VGC’s 2/5-star verdict, criticised the title for sticking too closely to a tried and tested formula.

We wrote: “If you’re interested in another Far Cry game that does the Far Cry stuff the way it’s been doing it for 10 years, you’ll probably have a good time, but if you’ve already hit your limit with this kind of game, Far Cry 6 is the ne plus ultra of why open-world game design is so badly in need of a revolution.”

Far Cry 7 could shake-up the series with a greater focus on online play, it has been claimed.

Earlier today, it was reported that Tencent is said to be interested in acquiring a larger stake in Far Cry publisher Ubisoft.
