Welcome to the weekend. Whether you’re working today or away, we have a range of offers that might interest you. Most of them were big hits throughout the week which we’re rehashing for your perusal, though we’ve packed in a few deals that have popped up more recently.

At the Epic Games Store on PC, you can play as much far cry 6 as you can adapt to this weekend. The storefront offers an extended free trial of Ubisoft’s latest open-world first-person shooter. Deals on far cry 6 aren’t too rare these days (though the PC version gets fewer discounts than the console versions), and yet it’s really hard to beat the current cost: $0.00. The game trial is also available for Xbox and PlayStation players. You do not need any type of subscription on PlayStation consoles to access the free trial. On Xbox, however, you’ll need Xbox Live Gold (or the modern equivalent, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate).

Usually, we like to provide context around the deals we promote, so you can make an informed purchase. It’s not as necessary for a freebie. It is worth noting that far cry 6 offers more of the same combat and exploration feel. In Diego Arguello’s analysis of the game’s story, far cry 6 is one of the few AAA games set in Latin America, although its narrative and handling of cultural representations are haphazard. If you can look past that, it could be a good use of your free time this weekend.
