Well, with one notable exception, but we'll come to that in a moment.
Actually, New Dawn's line hiding away among the others at the bottom of the chart there is an oddly accurate representation of its journey to market, so that's fun.įar Cry series: Opening week completionsEveryone know Far Cry games are big, but there still always seem to be a handful of people who manage to blitz through them in the first few days. It won't have helped that unlike 5, New Dawn had some stiff competition around its February release, with the likes of Apex Legends, Anthem, Crackdown 3, Metro Exodus, and Ubisoft's own Trials Rising all launching within days of it.
The other is Far Cry: New Dawn, by contrast the series' weakest launch in terms of player count, although that's perhaps not all too surprising for a spin-off from FC5 less than a year after it released, and when a lot of players seemed to be getting burned out on the tried-and-tested formula. Only two other Far Cry titles featured here join FC5 in bucking the trend, one being Far Cry Primal, with its February release possibly explaining its better-than-expected performance here. Far Cry 5 was a rare exception, with its March launch seeing it have the market almost entirely to itself. One of the reasons FC5 is so dominant here could simply be release timing - Far Cry games typically drop in the busy Q4 period, where they end up competing for players' time with some of the biggest names in the business. As you can see, Far Cry 6 looks to be off to a great start, and it would be the series' best opening week were it not for those absolutely crazy Far Cry 5 numbers.
