Far Cry 5 is the fastest selling title in franchise history

It seemed nearly inconceivable considering how most of the conversation focused on politics rather than gameplay when it first arrived, but it turns out that most people don't care about that and picked up Far Cry 5 in droves, now making it the fastest-selling entry in the franchise's history.

YouTube user Crowbcat believes he has presented clear proof that the physics engine in Far Cry 5 is worse than that from the 2nd game. While specific sales numbers haven't been confirmed, Ubisoft claims over $310 million was spent on the game in its first week, with half of the sales coming from digital distribution platforms like PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace. It is now your job to unravel the mysteries and potential dangers with the help of various county residents, whom together form The Resistance.

Far Cry 5's menus have been promoting the upcoming release of Live Events, and the first of these is finally available.

"I'm proud that the culmination of years of passionate work from the team is paying off, and that Far Cry 5's experience resonates with so many people", stated Executive Producer Dan Hay.

Ubisoft also shared some other fun statistics about the way people have been playing Far Cry 5, including Boomer being the most popular fang for hire.

So, if you were worrying that Far Cry might be suffering from franchise fatigue, it looks like that isn't a problem the series needs to worry about yet.

You'll receive Silver Bars the more progress you make.
