Steam Achievements have finally arrived for Far Cry 5 on PC, giving players new ways to track their progress while taking down Joseph Seed's cult in Hope County.
This update means your existing Ubisoft Connect achievements will sync right over when you launch the game on Steam. No more starting from scratch if you've already liberated outposts or recruited Guns for Hire like Boomer the dog.
For those diving back in, these achievements tie directly into the game's open-world chaos. Think unlocking badges for mastering vehicle takedowns or fully upgrading your resistance against the Heralds—Jacob, John, and Faith. It adds that extra layer of motivation to explore every corner of Montana's wilderness, from fishing spots to cult strongholds.
What This Means for Your Playthrough
The sync feature is a game-changer if you're switching platforms or just want Steam's overlay. It preserves your hard-earned progress, like completing the main story arcs or collecting all the prepper stashes that reveal more about Eden's Gate lore.
Will Far Cry 3 and 4 Get Achievements Too?
Yes, Ubisoft confirmed they're in development for those earlier entries. If you're a series fan, this could mean revisiting Vaas in Far Cry 3 or Pagan Min in Far Cry 4 with fresh goals soon.
How Do Achievements Impact Far Cry 5 Gameplay?
They encourage diverse approaches, like using stealth with animal companions or going full Rambo with explosives. In a game where player choice shapes the resistance, these add replay value without altering the core narrative of fighting a doomsday cult.
Whether you're a newcomer or veteran deputy, this update refreshes the fight against the Father. Head to Steam and see how it integrates with your saves.
