Far Cry 6 Release Date Has Leaked Through Microsoft Store, File Size Revealed

Far Cry 6 was confirmed to launch after April 2021 but didn’t have an official release date. It might have been leaked thanks to the Microsoft Store.

The official Microsoft Store has been updated with a release date for Far Cry 6. According to the list on the store, the game will unlock on May 25 at 5:00 PM PST. This is likely the release date that was accidentally posted ahead of an official announcement. Microsoft Store is notorious for these leaks in the past as well.
