    Your problem is, the game is not free on steam. Ubisoft did not even announced it it will be free on steam. Only Epic, ubisoft connect and consoles

    I spoke to ubisoft support yesterday who said it was added to steam, and would be 'live' at 5pm EST. I never successfully launched the game.

    It never worked and the free weekend has now been removed from steam. This was botched.

    Support says there is an issue with steam free weekend and to basically download the game all over again via one of the other options (sigh) :

    please activate and download the Ubisoft Connect version of the Free Weekend in order to play:

    Yeah the issue is that the activation fails.

    Redownloading 48 gigabytes, as a workaround for the bad configuration job is too much to ask of people.

    I've been a fan of the Far Cry series for a while. Really excited to try this game. Took hours to download. I refuse to download it twice and lose even more evaluation time.

    Completely unacceptable. Make up your minds, don't use a platform as an ad for another platform.It does not affect steam, it affects the former potential customer

    I know losing a heavily discounted sale is a drop of water in the ocean, and I know a lot of "gamers" threaten impotent boycotts, but I've hit my limit with Ubi's crap. Absolutely never giving Ubi a penny ever again

    Hello everyone. I can confirm that the free weekend is only available on Ubisoft Connect or Epic on PC. I do apologize for the frustration caused by it no longer being available on Steam, and I will gladly forward any complaints or feedback about this issue with the game team. If anyone does continue to encounter issues, please let me know as well.
