For those who are still experiencing difficulties, Ubisoft officially recommends a hard reboot of the Xbox One console, asrelayed bycommunity manager Ubi_Jax. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment.]
Far Cry 4has been removed from the Xbox One games store, leaving some players unable to access the game despite having already purchased and downloaded the title. Ubisoft is actively investigating the issue, butsuggests contacting Xbox Supportin the meantime.
The problem was first reported nine hours agoon redditby user AegeusRex, who was stymied by their inability to launch a digital copy ofFar Cry 4 Gold Edition. Several other users lodged a similar complaint, and the malaise spread toUbisoft’s support forumsoon after.
Ubisoft believes the problem stems fromFar Cry 4being unavailable for purchase through the Xbox One’s digital store. The gameappears in searches, but clicking on the standard version results in a ‘Page Not Found’ error. Curiously, theGold Editionseems to be available for purchase.
We’ll keep an eye on this story, but for now, it seems like your best bet is to wait for Microsoft to restore the game. Maybe buy a physical version next time?
