Far Cry 6 Release Time

Far Cry 6 launches on the 7th of October 2021 on all platforms. Ubisoft has opted for a rolling release model for the game. This means that the game will launch at 12:01 AM local time in each region. This is good news for New Zealanders and others in similar time zones who will get to play first but it might be disappointing for folks on the other side of the map who will have to wait a few hours to play.

Far Cry 6 File Size and Pre-Load Details

To make sure you are ready to play as soon as the game launches, it is a good idea to pre-load. This is an option available to all gamers who pre-ordered the game.

From 48 hours prior to launch, pre-loading will be open on all platforms. This means you will be able to start downloading Far Cry 6 from Tuesday, the 5th of October.

On consoles, Far Cry 6 is set to be around 39GB large, which is not too hefty. According to the minimum requirements for the PC version of Far Cry 6, you should have 60GB of storage space free. It should be noted that these file sizes do not take into account any day 1 patch.
