Yes. The download on this page is listed under a Free license, and the pre-installed Patch 3 build is available at no cost. The developer, Crytek, also sells the game on Steam if you prefer to support them directly.
This is a pre-installed release, so there is no setup wizard. Extract the 22.6 GB archive into a folder excluded from your antivirus, install the runtime apps from the Redist or _CommonRedist folder, then launch the game from Crysis Remastered.exe inside the game folder. Run it as administrator to avoid permission errors.
This is Patch 3, build 8139684. It matches the current store version, and the last official update was February 08, 2022, so the build is stable and up to date.
Yes. The store page lists full controller support, and in our testing an Xbox-style gamepad worked without any extra configuration.
That usually means the extraction was interrupted or your antivirus removed a file during the process. Re-extract into a folder that is excluded from antivirus and Defender, then check for Crysis Remastered.exe again.
The recommended spec calls for Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-7600K or AMD Ryzen 5 or higher, 12 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti or AMD Radeon Vega 56. You also need about 20 GB of free storage, though we recommend leaving closer to 30 GB free for extraction and cache files.
