The biggest sale of the year is around the corner – and for fans of immersive open-world action, the upcoming Black Friday event offers a prime opportunity to dive into Far Cry 6 (if you haven’t already) or upgrade to a complete edition at a bargain price. In this guide, we’ll cover: why Far Cry 6 is still relevant, what to expect in the Black Friday 2025 window, how to maximise savings, and when exactly you should be watching.
Why Far Cry 6 Still Packs Value
Released in October 2021, Far Cry 6 has had time to mature, receive updates, and appear in major sale events. The game features the largest open-world in the series to date, cooperative play, and a variety of DLC and editions to suit different budgets. On platforms like Steam and Ubisoft Store, it regularly dips to historic low prices. For example, price tracking sites Deku Deals and Steambase list digital editions reaching around 80% off during major sales.
Additionally, the official store listing confirms that during the Ubisoft Black Friday sale the base and premium editions of Far Cry 6 were discounted significantly.
All this means: if you’ve been holding off, Black Friday 2025 could be your best chance yet to get great value.
Release Date / Sale Date Timing
When planning for the annual sale rush, timing matters. From past years, the store window for Far Cry 6 via the Ubisoft Store followed a mid-November start and early December end, with the actual Black Friday – the largest discount day – falling in the middle of that window.
Here are the historical sale windows and the predicted window for 2025:
| Year | Sale Start | Sale End | Actual Black Friday |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Thursday, November 17, 2022 | Wednesday, November 30, 2022 (news.ubisoft.com) | Friday, November 25, 2022 |
| 2023 | Thursday, November 16, 2023 (news.ubisoft.com) | Wednesday, November 29, 2023 | Friday, November 24, 2023 |
| 2024 | Tuesday, November 19, 2024 (store.ubisoft.com) | Tuesday, December 3, 2024 | Friday, November 29, 2024 |
| 2025 (Predicted) | Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | Tuesday/Wednesday, December 2–3, 2025 | Friday, November 28, 2025 |
Pro tip: Add Far Cry 6 to your wishlist on Ubisoft Store (and Steam) by mid-November 2025 so you’ll be notified right when the sale begins.
Given the patterns, you should expect the deepest discounts somewhere between launch and the end of the sale window.
What Discounts to Watch For
Based on past performance and deal trackers, here’s what you might expect for Far Cry 6 in the 2025 event:
- Discounts of -70% to -85% on standard or deluxe editions. For example, price history shows dips to around $11.99 (≈ -80%) on PC.
- Game of the Year/Ultimate editions bundled with DLC might drop to mid-$20s or equivalent in Indian pricing.
- Bundles may include Season Pass content, extra packs, or “Gold Edition” upgrades.
- Cross-platform deals: Ubisoft Store (PC), possibly Steam key deals, plus console stores will align or offer parallel deals.
- Regional pricing matters a lot – especially if you’re buying in India, conversion and currency fluctuations can make a big difference.
Where to Buy and What Edition to Choose
- PC via Ubisoft Store: Reliable, frequent large discounts; recent listing shows Far Cry 6 Standard at $15 (-75%) in a Black Friday sale window.
- Steam/Key Resellers: SteamDB and other trackers show historic low pricing for the game on Steam.
- Console Stores: PS4/PS5 and Xbox versions also drop significantly during these sales. Reference: PS price history shows large discounts in India.
- Edition Guidance:
– If you don’t own the game: go for the Standard or Gold Edition if your budget is limited.
– If you already own it or want full content: look for the Game of the Year/Ultimate Edition with all DLC and expansions, especially if it drops to the same price as past deals (~US$20-25).
– Always check region locks, platform compatibility, and whether key codes are official.
How to Maximise Your Savings
- Wishlist early: Set alerts and check the sale start date (predicted: Nov 18, 2025) so you’re ready the moment deals go live.
- Compare platforms: Sometimes Ubisoft Store will have the best discount, but Steam or resellers may undercut by a few dollars – especially in regional pricing. Use trackers like IsThereAnyDeal.
- Wait for the deepest cut: Often the biggest drop happens closer to Cyber Monday (end of sale window).
- Double check editions and bundles: Make sure the promo is for the version you want (Standard vs Game of the Year) and check included content.
- Install and enjoy: Once purchased, make sure you have the latest patch and run-through any bonus content or expansions for full value.
Why 2025’s Sale Could Be the Best Opportunity
- The game has matured: With all major updates and DLC out, the 2025 edition of Far Cry 6 is arguably the “stable, full-content” version rather than a launch-era title.
- Larger sale windows: Ubisoft’s pattern (2024’s sale lasted until Dec 3) gives more flexibility for deal-hunting and catching the best price.
- Compounding platform competition: With more retailers and digital platforms competing for Black Friday attention, you’re more likely to see deeper discounts or bundles.
- Entry value: If you’ve been on the fence, this year offers the best “all-in” value – base game + DLC at a fraction of full price.
