/ Carlos Hernandez
If you’ve always wanted to try out Far Cry 5 on PC this weekend is your chance as Ubisoft is hosting a free weekend of the full game starting May 29, 2020 and will last until May 31, 2020.
You can pre-load the game on Uplay starting today, May 28 to get ready for your visit to Hope County, Montana. Co-op will be available during the weekend so players can try out the game’s co-op feature that allows players to go through the game as a group.
Naturally, during the free period, the PC Standard and Gold editions of Far Cry 5 will be 75% off on Uplay. If you buy the game during the free weekend, all your progress will carry over once you own a copy of the game.
