Far Cry 5 Breaks Franchise Sales Records

Far Cry 5 Breaks Franchise Sales Records

Far Cry 5 more than doubled first-week sell-through of Far Cry 4, making Far Cry 5 the fastest selling title in the franchise’s history. Digital distribution accounted for more than 50 percent of those sales. 

Far Cry 5 now represents the second biggest launch ever for a Ubisoft game, with $310M USD in consumer spending through the first week. In addition to the strong first week of sales, record-breaking numbers of people are engaging with Far Cry 5 content. People streamed more than 55,000 hours of Far Cry 5 on Twitch and YouTubers’ videos earned more than 117 million views. Both are records for a Ubisoft title in a week following launch, and evidence of the impact user generated content is having in convincing players to join the Far Cry community.

“Far Cry 5, like the real Montana, is a vast and gorgeous playground filled with colorful stories for players to enjoy and share,” Laurent Detoc, President of Ubisoft, Americas. “We’re grateful to newcomers and fans of the series who have joined us in Hope County and have collectively grown our community.”

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.

“I’m proud that the culmination of years of passionate work from the team is paying off, and that Far Cry 5’s experience resonates with so many people,” said Dan Hay, Executive Producer on Far Cry. “We are humbled by players’ reception of Far Cry 5 and fired up to keep growing and supporting the Far Cry community in the months and years to come.”

I must just be completely out of touch with reality because I just can't understand how.

Gamers really are their own worst enemy.

Lapping up the same old, rinse & repeat franchise crap, year in, year out. :rolleyes:

They're the same morons who think all these garbage Marvel movies are high concept art.

And I've been paying FC5 all weekend, love it. It's a nice game, as simple as that. And trust me, I'm not a UBI fan.

HH , no one said it's nota a good game of a Nice game. Just repetitive and it's the same model as FC4 or primal or FC3 pe just cause . Can I recomand you : The Talos Principle now that Was a good game. I am just saying we don't need the same game every year. Just like Bethesta is doing with Skyrim ... It Was good , but now they are just milking it
