Ubisoft, the French video game publisher behind Assassin’s Creed, is making Far Cry 6 completely free to play for a limited time across all platforms. For those who want to keep the game, Far Cry 6 will also be on a great discount.

Starting August 4 and lasting until August 7, Far Cry 6 will be free to play on the Xbox, PlayStation, and Windows PC. The entire length of Far Cry 6 will be available for players to go through, so if you’re dedicated enough, you can try to finish the game within the time period. If not, you can get a 60% discount on it so that you can finish your adventures in Yara. Additionally, Ubisoft is giving a promotion for an extra $5 on your next purchase at the Ubisoft store.

Post-launch content will also be unlocked, including the Stranger Things, Rambo, and Danny Trejo add-ons.

Ubisoft’s official description of Far Cry 6:

“Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time. As the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their oppressive rule has ignited a revolution.

Play as Dani Rojas, a local Yaran, as you fight alongside a modern-day guerilla revolution to liberate Yara! Fight against Castillo’s regime in the most expansive Far Cry to date, through jungles, beaches, and Esperanza, the capital city of Yara.”
