If you're on PC, you can play it via Ubisoft Connect or the Epic Game Store. Just purchase the game and find it in your app to start the download.

The download size is sure to change over the coming weeks as updates come out and patches go live. This being said, Far Cry 6 is being reported at around 40 GB on consoles right now and up to 60GB on PC.

PC allows a little more customizability in regards to textures so it would make sense to be a little larger. It also will not include ray tracing on consoles.
