Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5

Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 has been enhanced to run at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5, as confirmed by the update history in Version 1.08, according to a post by gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit. If you haven't experienced the game yet, this is an excellent opportunity to dive into the vibrant and expansive world of Kyrat. The game not only showcases one of the series' most memorable villains, Pagan Min, but also utilizes the stunning Himalayan landscape as an interactive playground for fighting, hunting, and exploration.

Despite some criticism regarding its characters, Far Cry 4 received an impressive 8.5/10 rating from IGN, praised for its engaging campaign, cooperative, and competitive multiplayer modes that offer a sense of freedom and fun.

This update places Far Cry 4 among other PS4-era Ubisoft games that have received similar enhancements, such as Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The Far Cry community on the subreddit is buzzing with excitement and anticipation, hoping that beloved titles like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will soon receive the same treatment. However, the timing of the update was a bit of a disappointment for some players, with one user lamenting that they had just achieved the platinum trophy days before the update.

In related news, Ubisoft recently established a new subsidiary focused on its major franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, backed by a significant investment from Tencent. This move comes in the wake of Ubisoft's recent challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, culminating in the successful launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which quickly surpassed 3 million players. The pressure is on for Ubisoft to rebound, especially after its stock hit an all-time low.

In a surprising move today, Ubisoft also added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further expanding the game's appeal to a new generation of players.
