At the Epic Games Store on PC, you can play as much Far Cry 6 as you can this weekend. The showcase offers an extended free trial of Ubisoft’s latest open-world first-person shooter. Deals on Far Cry 6 aren’t too uncommon these days (although the PC version has 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 to Xbox and PlayStation players. You do not need any kind of subscription to PlayStation consoles to access the free trial. On Xbox, however, you’ll need Xbox Live Gold (or its modern equivalent, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate). Typically, we like to provide context about the deals we’re promoting so you can make an informed purchase. This is not so necessary for a free. It’s worth noting that Far Cry 6 offers more of the same great combat and exploration. In Diego Arguello’s analysis of the game’s story, Far Cry 6 is one of the few AAA games set in Latin America, though the narrative and handling of cultural depictions are hit or miss. If you can figure this out, it might be a good use of your free time this weekend.

      Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 puts you in the Cuban-inspired Yara region. It’s the latest in Ubisoft’s open-world, first-person franchise. If you’re planning to go on vacation this summer or just want to relax at home with a few books, the latest Kindle Paperwhite might be the perfect gadget to add to your repertoire. At Best Buy, this model is $45 off, costing $94.99 through Saturday night. That’s exactly the lowest price we’ve seen the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite sell for. As for why it’s the e-reader to buy over the previous generation, it features USB-C charging, a larger 6.8-inch backlit screen, and adjustable screen color temperature. It has waterproofing in common with the latest generation Paperwhite. Read our review.
