Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5

Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 has been updated to run at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. As reported by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the game's Version 1.08 update now includes "support 60 FPS on PS5 console." This enhancement makes it the perfect time for both new and returning players to dive into the vibrant world of Far Cry 4. The game features one of the franchise's most memorable villains, Pagan Min, and sets you loose in the expansive, visually stunning landscape of the Himalayas. This isn't just scenery; it's an interactive playground that invites you to engage in combat, hunt, and explore.

In our IGN review, we described Far Cry 4 as having "weak characters, but its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer feature incredibly fun freedom," earning it a strong 8.5/10 rating.

Far Cry 4 joins the ranks of other PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked excitement among the Far Cry community on the subreddit, with fans eagerly requesting similar enhancements for other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

Unfortunately, the timing of the update left some players disappointed. One user lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."

In other Ubisoft news, the company recently established a new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, backed by a significant €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move comes in the wake of Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassed 3 million players, a crucial milestone following a challenging period marked by high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations. The success of Shadows is vital as Ubisoft's stock price has hit an all-time low, adding pressure on the company to deliver.

Additionally, Ubisoft has quietly added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, providing a fresh incentive for players to revisit this classic title.
