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. This enhancement was first noticed by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, where the game's update history for Version 1.08 confirms the addition of "support 60 FPS on PS5 console."

If you haven't experienced Far Cry 4 yet, now is an excellent time to dive in. The game boasts one of the franchise's most memorable villains, Pagan Min, and immerses players in a vast, colorful open-world set in the Himalayas. This vertical landscape isn't just a scenic backdrop; it's an interactive playground that invites players to engage in combat, hunt, and explore.

While Far Cry 4 may have been criticized for its characters, IGN's "great" 8.5/10 review praised the game for its engaging campaign, cooperative, and competitive multiplayer modes, highlighting the freedom and fun these elements bring to the gameplay experience.

View 11 ImagesFar Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received retrospective performance upgrades, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, who are now eagerly requesting similar enhancements for other beloved entries in the series, such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

Unfortunately, the timing of the update was less than ideal for some, with one player lamenting on the subreddit, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."

In related news, Ubisoft 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 development follows Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players. The company faced significant challenges leading up to this release, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, which have placed considerable pressure on Assassin's Creed Shadows to succeed amid a historic low in Ubisoft's share price.

Additionally, Ubisoft has quietly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further demonstrating their commitment to enhancing older titles.
