In original release order, the Far Cry series spans six numbered mainline games, standalone follow-ups and expansions, platform-specific releases, an arcade game, and a location-based VR title. The list below includes those distinct releases rather than ports, remasters, or later updates. Dates are given at the level supported: years for most older games, and exact dates only where Ubisoft’s announcements establish them.
Far Cry games in release order
This is a release-order list, not the games’ in-universe story chronology. The numbered entries are the mainline series; other releases are labeled by their role. Older platform-specific entries are included because they are distinct products, but their dates are shown by year where an exact launch day is not established here.

| 3 | Far Cry Instincts: Evolution | 2006 | Follow-up to Instincts. |

The broad chronology and year-level dates for many older platform-specific releases are supported by third-party release-order references (GG.deals franchise list; Far Cry series reference). Regional and platform launches can differ, so a year-only date should not be read as a single worldwide launch day.
How many Far Cry games are there?
There is no single count without defining what “game” means. The table contains 15 distinct releases when it includes older platform-specific products, the arcade title, and the VR game. If you mean only the numbered mainline series, there are six: Far Cry, Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, Far Cry 5, and Far Cry 6. Standalone releases such as Blood Dragon, Primal, and New Dawn count as games, but not as numbered mainline entries.

What this list does not count as a new release
Ports, editions, remasters, and technical updates are not additional original entries in this chronology. For example, Ubisoft says Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, and Primal received 60FPS updates on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in January 2026; those updates do not change their original release years (Ubisoft’s Far Cry page). Ubisoft also included a remastered Blood Dragon Classic Edition in the Far Cry 6 Season Pass, which is distinct from the standalone original’s 2013 release (Far Cry 6 launch details).

Use the table if you want to play the games in the order they came out. That does not mean every entry continues the previous game’s plot: New Dawn is explicitly a standalone sequel to Far Cry 5, while many other entries are separate stories. The series’ release order is therefore the clearest way to follow its history as a franchise, but it is not a mandatory narrative sequence.
