Far Cry 5 is getting a next-gen upgrade and a free weekend

Far Cry 5 It has sold more than 20 million copies, which inspires people lovable A nightmarish shooter about a rural cult who are preparing to inherit the United States after the end of the world. Perhaps that’s why after half a decade Ubisoft gave it an unlikely “next-gen” upgrade on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

It was released in 2018 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Far Cry 5 Sets players loose In the simulation of modern day Montana where a group of religious terrorists cook white poppies for a potion of the locals and try to fulfill their disturbing prophecies. It’s often shocking for the sake of shock, though subtle at times, full of vehicular mayhem, unblocked NPC simulations, and lots, lots, lots of eliminating bad guys from the bases.

Now, gamers can enjoy it all at 60fps on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S by Free update Launched today to celebrate the game’s fifth anniversary. It’s an unusual move for such an old game. Then again, Ubisoft has been updating all kinds of old things lately.

to end things, Far Cry 5 It will be free on console and PC the last weekend of the month, March 23rd through March 27th. That’s plenty of time to finish the game and experience all of its haunting horrors, earned and otherwise. Take my advice and don’t bother with the DLC. It’s routine at best, and boring at worst.

tough as you are Far Cry 5 In retrospect, among other things, for pulling punches when it comes to actually trying to make a convincing argument about the disintegration of American society and the political forces exploiting its disintegration, I’m still smitten to its open world. When it gives you a break from shooting people, there’s plenty of great Midwestern beauty to chew on.

Its old pine back roads reminded me of the New Hampshire summer vacations of my childhood as vividly as any dream ever had. But if you’re only there for the map game full of icons to uncover and checklists to complete, you’ll get all of that, too.
