Fortunately, there’s not long to wait as Far Cry 6 will release on Octofor PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC. Of course, to get to post-launch content you actually have to get to launch first. Overall, Far Cry 6’s post-launch plans seem to strike a pretty decent balance between free and paid content and it looks like players will have plenty to keep them occupied long after they liberate Yara. New players can pre-load Far Cry 6 on March 22 at 12 PM PT on PC and PlayStation platforms, and will have access to the full game when the free weekend begins, including the upcoming Stranger Things crossover mission inspired by the Netflix series, and all free downloadable content published to date all playable in co-op. The fact that these crossover missions are free does help somewhat-it’s easier to take a chance on something silly when you know it’s not going to leave you out of pocket. When you’re playing a game that allows you to ally yourself with a murderous rooster at a certain point you probably just have to nod and say, “okay, sure, I guess rampaging with a Rambo superfan could be a next step”. Then again, Far Cry isn’t exactly a series that shies away from tonal whiplash or the ridiculous.

In the age of Fortnite, it’s increasingly kind of hard to be surprised by crossovers, but Far Cry 6’s three crossover missions are, admittedly, more than a little weird at first glance.
