Far Cry 4 Now Finally Runs at 60fps On PlayStation 5

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 noted by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the update to Version 1.08 brings "support for 60 FPS on PS5 console." This enhancement makes now the perfect time for both new and returning players to dive into the game. Far Cry 4 offers an immersive experience in its vibrant open-world, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas. This environment isn't just visually stunning; it's a dynamic playground that invites players to engage in combat, hunt, and explore. Despite some critiques regarding character development, the game's campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes provide a thrilling sense of freedom, as highlighted in IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review.

Far Cry 4 joins the ranks of other PS4-era Ubisoft titles like Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins that have received performance upgrades in recent years. This update has sparked excitement among the Far Cry community on the subreddit, with fans eagerly hoping that other beloved entries such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will also receive the 60 fps treatment. However, for some players, the update arrived just a bit too late, as 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 subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, backed by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move comes on the heels of Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassing 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced significant challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, leading to a historic low in its share price. The success of Assassin's Creed Shadows is crucial for the company's recovery. Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further demonstrating their commitment to enhancing older titles.
