Far Cry 6is the latest in Ubisoft’s successfulFar Cryseries, and it delivers exactly what players expect from the series. Players are exploring all aspects ofFar Cry 6from its cockfighting minigameto more impromptu bullfighting moments.
Overall, it seems thatFar Cry 6is delivering the experience that players expected, but not much else. Still, it’s sold well, which is only to be expected for a game that is part of a well established franchise and provides a fun open world experience. In fact, it’s done well enough that Ubisoft is doing some cross-promotion.

The official digital publication of Mattel’sUNO, also published by Ubisoft, is getting newFar Cry 6themed DLC. The new DLC costs $4.99/£3.99 and brings both cosmetic and gameplay additions toUNO. In terms of visuals, it replicates the look of a gaming table and background that one might find inFar Cry 6’s Yara, and the cards have characters fromFar Cry 6printed on them. In terms of gameplay, players can collect Pesos, though they won’t have to wade throughFar Cry 6’s respawning enemies to do so.
Once earned, the pesos can be put to work calling in four different characters from the game to help players. Each character has a different effect at varying prices, from adding cards to opposing hands to emptying a player’s own hand. Other effects include stopping opponents from calling in favors. It provides a constant for players to fall back on, somewhat mitigating the randomness of the cards. In addition, there’s one new card with a random effect regarding Pesos for the player who plays it. It looks like a good crossover, and with aFar Cry 6themed drinkalready made, it seems the game is definitely marketable.
This is not the first time that Ubisoft has usedUNOto cross-promote its titles.Just DanceandRabbidshave both made appearances inUNO, andImmortals: Fenyx Risingalso got its own DLC. Each new crossover included new mechanics specific to that expansion.
Although not nearly as large or as widely advertised as its AAA brethren,UNOis a moneymaker for Ubisoft. A favorite of streamers and casual play alike, it is beloved by all stripes, to the point where one player even made aplayableUNOgame inMinecraft.
Far Cry 6is available now on Luna, PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
