ThoughFar Cry 6didn’t win any major awards for Game of the Year, an edition with the GOTY tag is still being released, and the price tag may be more than fans expected. On Friday, the Ubisoft game was placed in the Xbox Store and other digital retailers. TheFar Cry 6Game of the Year bundle comes with the base game, as well as the season pass, and all DLC. There will also be an expansion that has yet to be revealed by Ubisoft outside of its name,Lost Between Worlds.
For Xbox users that have pulled up the store, there was likely a shock at the price point for the Game of the Year edition.Far Cry 6is listed at $119.99, doubling the price of the standard version upon initial release. The newest edition also dwarfs theFar Cry 6deluxe($79.99) and gold ($99.99) edition release prices.

Far Cry 6was initially released on June 01, 2025, meaning that the leak of the Game of the Year edition price comes on the game’s one-year anniversary. Atthe Game Awards 2021, Far Cry 6was nominated for three awards, none of which were for Game of the Year. The game was nominated for Best Performance (Giancarlo Esposito), Innovation in Accessibility, and Best Action Game, but didn’t take home any of the awards.
The $120 price tag has left a lot of people baffled. The standard edition of the game can be purchased for as low as $19.99 for a new copy in some stores, and even the gold edition on the Xbox Store is listed at $39.99 for Xbox Live Gold members and comes withall of theFar Cry 6DLC content. The $80 difference between the gold and GOTY editions ofFar Cry 6is the addition of theLost Between Worldsexpansion.
It will be interesting to see how many fans are willing to pay such an amount for the campaign expansion. Sales forFar Cry 6were strong when it was initially released in October 2021. While $120 is certainly a lot for any edition of a game, it still doesn’t come close to being one of the most expensive. After all,Saints Row 4had a $1 million pre-orderedition.
Far Cry 6is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
