If you like free games and the ability to try some of the biggest triple-A releases before you buy, Far Cry 5, the expansive open-world shooter from Ubisoft, creator of Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six, will soon be available for free. Nothing. with a huge 85% discount after the limited time free period ends.
Far Cry 5 will be playable for free via Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store from March 23 to 27. As noted in our Far Cry 5 review, it’s one of the strongest entries in the open-world shooter series, blending spectacular action with fresh storytelling. The entire base game will be available during this time, so if you manage to get to grips with the sandbox game, you’ll be able to explore the entire 2018 FPS without ever spending a single penny.
Alternatively, if you want to relax, once the trial ends, Far Cry 5 will be 85% off again on Ubisoft and the Epic Games Store. Ubisoft has yet to reveal the full pricing plan, but Far Cry 5 is currently listed at $59.99 USD (£49.99 GBP). 85% off means Far Cry 5 could be available for as low as $8.99 USD (£7.49 GBP), so if you haven’t tried Far Cry 5 yet, this is the perfect opportunity.
You can find Far Cry 5 on the Ubisoft Store or the Epic Games Store, but remember that the free weekend doesn’t start until March 23, followed by the discount. However, if you can’t wait until then, Far Cry 5 is currently on sale for $8.99 USD (£7.49 GBP) on Steam.
