    Free weekend ended 2 hours early

    Don't think I would be the only one that this happened to. I'm living in Belgium and the free weekend ended already while according to the official info (https://far-cry.ubisoft.com/farcry5/...m:154-76770-32) it should've ended in two hours.

    What's the reason for this, simple error or..?
    Sucks because I planned to finish the game before

    I was setting up the game options and about to fire up a new game to try it out before it suddenly closed. Message popped up saying, "Free weekend is over. Thanks for playing." What an unpleasant surprise.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for your feedback. I'm not entirely sure why the Free Weekend ended early if I'm honest, however I am very sorry that it did. I hope you guys enjoyed it over the weekend, though!

    Free weekend for Far Cry 5

    Exactly. I heard that Far Cry 5 was supposed to be free this weekend. Two DAYS I download the game to take advantage of the promotional offer, to see what it is.
    Now, when I installed the game and I want to play I see the window with the slogan "pay".
    I live in England and I also can't take advantage of the promotion. It's Sunday, 8 pm and you tell me to buy a game. Any jokes? Which weekend is it talking about? It is unfair.

    Hello, I'm sorry you were unable to play the Free Weekend.

    It appears for some players it ended 2 hours early, however it should still have been accessible for 3 days -

    • Preload: May 27 @ 5pm UTC
    • Start: May 29 @ 1pm UTC
    • End: May 31 @ 6pm UTC

    We had the dates and times on our Far Cry 5 free weekend web page. I'm sorry if there was any confusion!
