A Far Cry 6 free weekend has been announced by Ubisoft, meaning everyone will be able to try the shooter at no extra cost.
It’s only for a short time, but it should be enough for anyone interested in testing out the game that launched back in 2021.
The event hasn’t started yet just yet, but things are scheduled to kick off in less than 24 hours time.
