Late last month, we began hearing about a new edition of Far Cry 6; one that was set to come bundled with an upcoming expansion amongst other bits and pieces. While many focused on the fact that Ubisoft had seemingly labelled it a 'Game of the Year' edition (which we now know to be true), we were equally interested in its mystery expansion. The game has now appeared on Xbox Live before an official reveal and, well, its price proves a rather hard pill to swallow.
The Far Cry 6 Game of the Year Edition costs $120, or £100 here in the UK. This particular version does indeed include this mystery expansion (which is "coming soon"), along with the game's existing season pass and some other minor add-ons.
Now, we don't know how meaty this 'Lost Between Worlds' expansion could turn out to be, but we're quite surprised to see such a high price for a game that's been out for a year at this point! GOTY editions typically bundle in extra content for a more standard price, so to see Far Cry 6 re-launch with a $120 version is quite baffling, in all honesty.
Hopefully soon we get to see this new expansion in action to properly gauge whether this package is worth anywhere near its lofty price tag. You never know, it could turn out to be a great big chunk of Far Cry goodness; we certainly hope so anyway!
What do you make of this bundle? As surprised as us by its price tag? Let us know in the comments.

Recently got this on disc for £14.99 and it's an alright game but no way should GOTY edition cost over 100. Ubisoft have been taking the p*ss recently with their games now costing £70 and now this!
Very cheap, should be £200 really.
Lol Ubisoft is out of its mind to pretend to sell the worst Far Cry for over $120, and not even having the decency of saying exactly what content you’re getting with this edition, all I can say is that the already released DLC is terrible, it’s just 3 bad attempts of having a rogue-like with Far Cry’s gameplay that I just didn’t enjoy at all.
You’re better off buying Far Cry 5 or 4 gold editions for less than $20 bucks.
What no name, pseudo, Ubisoft owned website gave them Game of the Year?
Sigh. And people wonder why more and more people are joining #TeamCheapSkate and just playing whatever's available on Game Pass. I guess these publishers are doing what Apple has been doing with the iPhone: testing how much a customer is willing to pay for more of the same.
@IOI But it's gAmE oF tHe YeAr?!@#?$!@$
It will be 50% off within a month when the inevitable sale happens.
This certainly lends the whole "Lost between worlds is the next Blood Dragon/Primal/New Dawn" theory some credit.
Hahaha ha what?
Remember when GOTYs were released a year after the game came out, with all DLC, for $60?
Ubisoft is hellbent on people not buying their products with these goody prices they're doing.
Winner "Game of the Year" at the 2022 Price Gouger awards.
Well I purchased far cry and it's season pass and now they want me to pay more ? Not happening especially as the dlc was a copy and paste of the other dlcs but with different characters ,I wasted money on that won't be wasting anymore
Just picked this up in store for $9.98. I'll stick with my version.
what the hell? it's a scam! self-proclaimed game of the year
I feel like a GOTY Edition should require your game to actually make it to GOTY which Far Cry 6 received none of in any category. Getting nominations doesn't count.
Maybe il buy it in a year for £12.99
What? Aren’t GOTY mostly a complete edition of a game but at the price of the base game?
I really liked FC6 (3 and 5 are better though) but the DLCs sucked. So tired of roguelite crap
That’s nuts. Aren’t the Far Cry games usually like 20 bucks COMPLETE around 7 months after launch
What a joke lol.
Oh hell to the ***** no.
