PlayStation Marks Far Cry’s 20th Birthday with Free Rewards

Key Highlights:

• PlayStation is celebrating 20 years of the Far Cry franchise
• Players can get free digital collectibles by playing any Far Cry game
• Collectibles include 3D models of the lovable dog companions Boomer and Chorizo
• No PlayStation Plus subscription is required to claim these rewards
• Other games like Spider-Man 2 and MLB The Show 24 also have special anniversary campaigns

Sony is rolling out the red carpet for one of gaming’s most iconic open-world franchises – Far Cry. To commemorate two decades of over-the-top action and adventure, PlayStation has launched a special anniversary campaign allowing fans to snag free digital collectibles just by playing their favourite entries.

The centrepiece of these celebratory rewards are incredibly detailed 3D models of Boomer and Chorizo – the lovable canine companions who stole hearts in recent Far Cry instalments. A new trailer was dropped by the official PlayStation YouTube channel which you can view below:

Simply fire up any game in the long-running series between March 19th-24th and these adorable pups will be automatically added to your collection.

No subscription like PlayStation Plus is required either, making this the perfect opportunity for newcomers to finally experience the zany thrills of this legendary FPS title.

Whether you prefer the gritty chaos of Far Cry 3, the lush tropical vibes of Far Cry 6, or unique spin-offs like Primal or New Dawn – they all qualify. Ubisoft have said that there will be no announcement during the 20th Anniversary of a Far Cry 7 title or any kind of announcments.

Fan Service for Other Major Franchises

But Far Cry isn’t the only gaming heavyweight getting showered with fresh PlayStation rewards and campaigns next month.

Those eager to swing into Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 can earn an exclusive digital Symbiote Canister decoration by unlocking the “Exterminator” trophy.

Baseball fans are covered too, with a special digital baseball bat headed to anyone who plays the latest MLB The Show 24 entry before July 31st.

Fans of interactive music can groove along and nab a nostalgic cassette tape icon just for rocking out on classics like Rock Band 4 or Ragnarock.

Bonus Rewards Points Galore

To top it all off, PlayStation Stars members can rake in an easy 50 loyalty rewards points simply by playing any of the following acclaimed titles throughout March:

• Shadow of the Tomb Raider
• Kena: Bridge of Spirits
• Control: Ultimate Edition
• Sea of Stars
• Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition

These rewards points can then be redeemed for more digital collectibles, PlayStation Store credit, or other premium goods down the line. It’s a great way to get extra value out of your library.

Between all these franchise celebrations and addictive reward opportunities, PlayStation is really treating its fans to an embarrassment of riches next month. And since most of the big-ticket items like the Far Cry dog models don’t require an active subscription, it’s an incredibly consumer friendly approach to commemorating several marquee gaming anniversaries.
