    Release dates

    I just wondered if anyone can clarify why PC users have to wait 1 week longer to play this game?

    Black ops 3 seems to be doing the same with DLC, console gets it a whole month before we do? Why are we getting treated differently?

    Small correction: It was out a month sooner on PS4 only, as Sony bribed, erm I mean cooperated with Activision.

    I just got my pre-ordered copy of the collectors addition just not 1hr ago and tried to install it only to find out i have to wait an entire week, As a loyal fan this is just wrong people on xbox
    or ps4 can play it, yet even though i have the physical copy of the game in my possession i have to wait a week, To me i feel so wronged and discriminated against i will never buy another ubisoft product this farcry game is the last i may not even play it yet, I may at this stage demand a refund, i am not waiting a week.

    Ubisoft has officially announced Far Cry Primal, a new entry in the first-person shooter series that takes players to the "savage Stone Age." It will be released worldwide on February 23, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, followed by a PC release in March.

    Ubisoft has finally lifted the lid on what this Far Cry Primal business is all about: It's a first-person "shooter" set in the Stone Age and scheduled for release in March 2016.

    Far Cry Primal UK release date and platforms: When will Far Cry 4 be released in the UK?

    Far Cry Primal UK release date: 23 February 2016 (console); 1 March (PC).
    So now you’ve heard a little bit about Far Cry Primal, the next question is “Which platforms will Far Cry Primal be available on?” and while we’ve got the answer, some gamers may not be very happy. While Ubisoft has confirmed that the game will be headed to PS4, Xbox One and PC, last-gen gamers (PS3 and Xbox 360) are missing out on the action. Though there is no official reason for not supporting the older consoles, we imagine that it has something to do with the hardware required to power the game, as it’s a pretty big open world and graphically hungry.
    With regards to a release date, Far Cry Primal will be released in the UK on 23 February 2016 for the PS4 and Xbox One. PC gamers have to wait a little longer, as the game comes out a week later for the PC, on 1 March 2016.

    But does anyone know why?

    I understand if the game is, for some reason, going to physically ship later.

    Or if it requires further tweaking.

    But if people have the actual game in hand (as I do) and can load it on their system (as I did), then why the need for a later release date? It makes no sense.
