Far Cry 5 isn’t just a hit – it’s a monster hit – bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of sales.
For context, Far Cry 5’s launch more than doubled that of Far Cry 4, which launched in 2014.
Ubisoft said this week that the open-world shooter, which launched in March 2018, enjoyed first week sales of $310m, making it Ubisoft’s second biggest release ever.
Far Cry 5 earned the series its biggest ever launch on these shores, shifting more copies during its debut week than Assassin’s Creed Origins and Ghost Recon Wildlands, which themselves were no sales slouches.
