    Install Far Cry 4 physical (retail) version without DVD drive

    Hi everyone,

    is it possible to install Far Cry 4 physical (retail) version without using the included DVDs? Can I input the code on UPLAY or Steam and just download the whole game?

    Thanks for info.

    try asking Ubisoft Support , this forum is not UBISOFT support

    as to your question about Steam .. the only way to get the Steam version of the game is Buy the game on Steam
    the retail boxed DVD version is Uplay only (no steam involved )

    you could try downloading the latest version of Uplay here https://uplay.ubi.com

    create or login to a uplay account that you already have (if you have a uplay account from installing a previous Uplay game )

    then select activate product and input your Far Cry 4 Key

    the version that comes on DVD is outdated so no matter what you'll have to Download all of the updates via Uplay anyway ..and some were quite large
    and i do recall some saying that when they tried to install and update the game from the DVD version it re downloaded the whole game anyway

    try giving UBI support a call on the Phone and ask them first would be what i would suggest if you don't wanna try the above

    you can reach them here
    You can also call them on the phone during regular support hours <--(BEST OPTION)
    You can find phone number information here: https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/60...0000000eiChCAI


    You can also try to contact them via social media.
