Far Cry 6 Buyers’ Guide: Standard, Gold [SteelBook], Ultimate, or Collector’s Edition?

On the 12th of July, the Ubisoft Team finally confirmed the release date of the next part of the Far Cry franchise, Far Cry 6, during the Ubisoft Forward live stream. In this article, I’ll be going over the various editions of Far Cry 6, what you get with each purchase, and which edition we recommend you should get. You can consider this a buyers’ guide for Far Cry 6.

Far Cry 6 Editions

There are currently 4 editions of Far Cry 6 to pick from. We have:

• The Standard Edition;
• The Gold Edition;
• The Ultimate Edition; and
• The Collector’s Edition.

Let’s examine what you get when you purchase a particular edition of Far Cry 6.

Standard Edition

The Standard Edition comes with the game and nothing more. It’s also the cheapest of the packs, coming in at $59.99.

Gold Edition

The Gold edition of Far Cry 6 comes with some extras which also means a price increase. The Gold Edition Steelbook variant comes in at $109.99 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X, while it costs $99.99 for the Gold Edition Digital variant which is available for only the Xbox One and Xbox One Series X.

With either variant of the Gold Edition of Far Cry 6, you get the season pass alongside the base game.

Ultimate Edition

This is where things start to get interesting. When you purchase the Ultimate Edition, you get the Base Game, the Season Pass and the Ultimate Pack. In the ultimate pack, you get the Vice Pack, the Croc Hunter Pack & the Jungle Expedition Pack. This sets you back $119 on both the Xbox and PlayStation Series.
