A week following its launch, Ubisoft announced today that Far Cry 5 has a total sales that is doubled than what Far Cry 4 sold when it launched several years ago.
In the press release from Ubisoft, the company also announced that it also now stands as the second-biggest launch for Ubisoft in history, with first place being The Division, with consumers spending $310 million in total.
In addition, Ubisoft also recorded a record-breaking number of users engaging with Far Cry 5 content via Twitch, and YouTube.
Here’s a brief overview of the game:
Set in America, a first for the franchise, Far Cry 5 offers players total freedom to navigate a serene-looking yet deeply twisted world as the new junior deputy of fictional Hope County, Montana. Players will find that their arrival accelerates a years-long silent coup by a fanatical doomsday cult, the Project at Eden’s Gate, igniting a violent takeover of the county. Under siege and cut off from the rest of the world, players will join forces with residents of Hope County and form the Resistance.
Far Cry 5 is now available for PS4, Xbox One and PC. For more information about the game, check out our review, where it received a solid 8.8 out of 10 from us.
