Ubisoft occasionally runs promotions and giveaways on their store, offering free games, including Far Cry 3. Keep an eye on their website for any ongoing or upcoming promotions.

A quick word of caution about gray market sites like G2A, Kinguin, and similar platforms: unlike legitimate retailers or authorized resellers, these sites connect buyers with third-party sellers who list keys at prices they choose. While many keys sold there do work and activate successfully, the concern is —whether the seller obtained them through authorized channels, and what happens if a key is revoked, region-locked, already used, or tied to suspicious payment activity. If you choose to use these platforms, do so with full awareness of the potential risks.

Ubisoft has a well-documented history of giving away older legacy titles entirely for free to promote upcoming sequels or celebrate company anniversaries. Far Cry 3 has been offered as a free permanent giveaway multiple times on the Ubisoft Store.
