Restricted to PC for now
Ray tracing is a relatively nascent technology, so it’s perhaps not surprising that developers are taking their time to get to grips with it.

One of the best parts of any given Far Cry game is its post-release support.

Same old, same old
The embargo on a new wave of Far Cry 6 previews has just lifted, allowing various outlets the chance to share their first thoughts based on four to five hours of gameplay.
