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 update was highlighted by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, where the patch notes for Version 1.08 mention the addition of "support 60 FPS on PS5 console." If you haven't yet experienced the game, this is an excellent opportunity to dive into the vibrant and expansive world of Far Cry 4. The game boasts one of the series' most memorable antagonists, Pagan Min, and sets players loose in the stunning vertical landscapes of the Himalayas. These environments are not merely scenic; they serve as a dynamic playground where players can engage in combat, hunting, and exploration.

IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review praised the game for its "incredibly fun freedom" in its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes, despite noting that the characters could be stronger.

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

However, 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, with a significant €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This development follows the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced challenges with high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to the release of Shadows, placing substantial pressure on the game to perform well amidst the company's lowest share price in history.

Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, quietly enhancing the game's appeal to players.
