Play Far Cry in your browser
Far Cry (2004) is Crytek's open-ended first-person shooter: a tropical archipelago, a private army, outposts, vehicles and a campaign that lets you choose stealth or open combat.
About the game
The browser build runs the original PC game on BottleShip: the Windows executable, the Direct3D 9 renderer and the game data are streamed on the first launch and cached in the browser.
Desktop only: Far Cry needs a keyboard and mouse, WebGPU and a modern Chromium-based browser. The first level takes a few minutes to load.
Progress is saved in browser storage; signing in mirrors saves to the cloud, so you can continue on another computer.
