I doubt this game would come the Switch, but if it did it's a game people would buy. Switch needs more FPS to compliment Doom and Wolfenstein 2.

To be fair, we've seen a lot of 7th gen games come to the Switch in the form of remasters. If they have to work with the code again, might as well port it to everything they can.

Yeah, this has probably already had most of the work done if not complete and they are just using it to hype the latest game. A Switch port is entirely possible but it would require they do more work or hire another team to port it. I wouldn't hold my breath in either case.

A shame though. These games play beautifully at 60 fps.

I feel like this is to help bolster sales of Far Cry 5 and DLC. Is it just for that though b/c they are not seeing the # of pre-orders they would like? Would love to be on the inside hearing Ubi's decision making process on this.

So its free if you tie yourself into the season pass 4 weeks before Far Cry 5 is out? That sounds a bit shifty.

You do have to buy the season pass but not early. You get to download FC3 for free 4 weeks before it's released this summer.
