PlayStation announces Far Cry 20th anniversary free downloads, no PS Plus needed

One of the new PlayStation Stars campaigns looks to celebrate one of the greatest open-world shooters of the past two decades. Far Cry has long been a favourite among players, taking in different environments and countries across the mainline entries in the franchise.

So, to celebrate 20 years of Far Cry, PlayStation has introduced two new digital collectibles; Boomer and Chorizo, two lovable dogs who have appeared in the games. Each of these gorgeous 3D models are available for free, and all you need to do is play one of several Far Cry games.

Far Cry 6 is the latest in the long-running franchise

To grab Boomer, you’ll need to play from 19 March; and to snag Chorizo, just load up a Far Cry game from 24 March. It’s that simple. You can play Far Cry 3, all the way through to Far Cry 6, and even the spin-off titles of Far Cry Primal and Far Cry New Dawn. You don’t need to play for long and these rewards will be yours to keep.

It’s not just Far Cry getting some love in the PlayStation Stars campaigns for March, you can also grab a digital symbiote canister by earning the ‘Exterminator’ trophy for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. MLB: The Show 24 is getting a digital baseball bat for its release, all you need to do is play the game before 31 July.

To receive the digital cassette tape, you’ll need to get musical and play either Rock Band 4, Drums Rock, Ragnarock, or The Artful Escape. Any excuse to get the instruments out again, hey?

Lastly, you can earn 50 points for playing one of the below games which are being showcased by PlayStation. If you didn’t already know, these points can be redeemed against digital collectibles, or even money to spend on the PSN store. So get playing some of these:
