If you fancy taking a break from the many RPGs that have hit the service in recent weeks, the latest drop should be a welcome change of pace. Far Cry 4 joins Xbox Game Pass today, taking us to the Himalayas for some chaotic shooting fun.

Far Cry 4 joins Xbox Game Pass for console and PC today

  • Take a look at the Far Cry 4 achievements
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC
  • Estimate completion time: 40-50 hours
  • Game Pass tiers: Standard, Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Our list of upcoming Game Pass games shrinks again today, as Ubisoft's open-world first-person shooter, Far Cry 4, joins the service for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. If aiding the people of Kyrat is your jam, you'll be able to dive into Ubisoft's shooter with a Standard, Ultimate, or PC Game Pass subscription.Set in the picturesque Himalayas, Far Cry 4 sees you head to the fictional country of Kyrat as Ajay Ghale for his mother's dying wish. Things quickly take a downturn as Ajay finds himself embroiled in a civil war, aiding the resistance to overthrow a ruthless dictator called Pagan Min. While Ubisoft's signature map-clearing exercises are on full display here, the region is beautiful to explore and filled with wildlife that throw a chaotic twist to the combat as you dismantle Min's hold on the region one outpost at a time.

If you're jumping in for the first time, there are 50 base game achievements to unlock in Far Cry 4, which should take 40 to 50 hours to unlock, pushed to 55 hours if you pick up the Valley of the Yetis expansion for another seven achievements. While many of them are linked to the story and general map-clearing — check out our Far Cry 4 walkthrough for a hand — there are a few co-op and multiplayer achievements, so you might need to grab a friend or find a boosting session to nab those.

As a little bonus, Ubisoft rolled out a free Far Cry 4 60fps patch this week, which turns off Xbox's FPS Boost for a far better experience. FPS Boost notoriously drops a game's resolution to offer better performance, but with the game's latest patch, you should be able to explore Kyrat in a crisp 1080p/60fps.

We know the library of Xbox Game Pass games is already bursting at the seams with awesome titles to play, but will you be checking out Far Cry 4 when it drops into the service later today? Drop a comment below and let us know!
