Does Far Cry 5 have different main endings? Far Cry 5 Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 27 March 2018

Yes, Far Cry 5 does feature two main endings (plus one hidden one at the very beginning of the adventure - details are provided on a separate page in the FAQ section). Below you will find more information about the endings.

The choice of the ending in Far Cry 5 is not the result of the decisions you've made throughout the whole game. It's a single decision, taking place during the finale of the main storyline, where you can act in two different ways and see one of the two different endings.

Unfortunately, there is a serious difficulty in the fact that you're unable to see both endings in a single playthrough. After completing the adventure and watching the ending you are back to the previous scene, but not far enough to make a different choice and be able to watch the second ending.

How do I get to see the two endings of Far Cry 5 one after the other?

This is only possible if you are playing the PC or PS4 version, because you need to make a backup of your saved game at the right time. In the PC version, find the directory where the saves are stored. For PS4, connect an USB storage device to the system and copy the save files on it. After seeing the first ending, you can delete the local saves and replace them with the ones you have copied beforehand.

The backup of your save files needs to be made before proceeding to the strict finale of the main campaign (i.e. before the confrontation with Joseph Seed).

If you missed the moment to make the backup or if you're playing on Xbox One, the only way to get to the other main end is to go through the entire main storyline of the game one more time.
