Far Cry 3 was released over a decade ago, and while it supported achievements on console and Ubisoft's own PC launcher, it didn't include Steam achievements. But with Ubisoft's return to Steam, it's also going back and adding those missing challenges to older games, including Far Cry 3. And what's even better: Ubisoft is also now removing co-op achievements that can no longer be achieved.
Earlier this week, Ubisoft officially announced this Far Cry 3 now has Steam achievements. Even better, they sync with Ubisoft Connect. So if you played the game years ago and unlocked all the challenges, you should be able to load it Far Cry 3 on Steam today and get all your achievements. Pretty!
Luckily, Ubisoft has also removed six achievements Far Cry 3 which were tied to the game's online multiplayer modes. In 2022 Ubisoft has shut down the servers FC3's online modesTherefore, it is now impossible to (legally) unlock these six achievements in 2025. Removing them was the right decision. It's also a great reminder of why developers shouldn't integrate online multiplayer achievements into a game with an offline campaign unless you plan to keep the servers running forever. (Xbox and Sony should also remove achievements from games with dead online modes!)
Published in 2012, Far Cry 3 is arguably the game that made the franchise the AAA juggernaut it is today. The open-world action game featured lush jungles, animals to hunt, and plenty of enemy outposts to conquer. However, the game never supported achievements on Steam Far Cry 3 had it on the PC via Ubisoft's own launcher. Remember when Ubisoft was weird about Steamand its games skipped the platform or arrived with features missing? Yes, FC3The reason for this was the lack of Steam features.
However, times have changed and Ubisoft returns to Valve's popular digital store in an effort to win back players and grow their audience. In recent weeks, Ubisoft has added Steam achievements Far Cry 4 And Far Cry 5 as well as Assassin's Creed Unity, Black Flag, Revelations, And Syndicate.
As for newer Ubisoft games on Valve's launcher Mirage And Outlawsthey now start with full power support. That's great and all, but maybe With Ubisoft Connect, Ubisoft can save you the hassle of playing Steam games. You can dream.
