Far Cry 5 will temporarily be a free game, followed by an 85% discount

Far Cry 5 will become a free game for a short time, with Assassin’s Creed dev Ubisoft offering an 85% discount on the sandbox shooter via Epic Games Store.

If you like Far Cry 5, the expansive open-world shooter from Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six creator Ubisoft, will soon be available for absolutely nothing, with a hefty 85% discount following once the limited-time free period comes to a close.

Far Cry 5 will be free to play via the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store from March 23 to March 27. As noted in our sandbox game grindstone, you might be able to explore the entirety of the 2018 FPS without having to spend a single penny.

Alternatively, if you want to take it slower, once the trial period comes to a close, Far Cry 5 will be 85% off on – once again – both the Ubisoft and Epic Games Stores. The full pricing plan is yet to be revealed by Ubisoft, 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 little as $8.99 USD (£7.49 GBP) so if you haven't tried Far Cry 5 out yet, this is the perfect chance.

You can find Far Cry 5 at either the Ubisoft Store or the Epic Games Store, but , the free weekend doesn't kick off until March 23, with the discount to follow after. However, if you can't wait until then, Far Cry 5 is currently on sale for $8.99 USD (£7.49 GBP) on Steam.
