Eleven years after its debut, Far Cry 4 now runs at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. As highlighted by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the game's update history reveals that Version 1.08 brought "support for 60 FPS on PS5 console." If you haven't experienced it yet, now is the perfect time to dive into Far Cry 4. With one of the franchise's most memorable antagonists, Pagan Min, the game immerses you in a vibrant and expansive open world. The Himalayan setting is not just a scenic backdrop but an interactive playground that invites players to engage in combat, hunting, and exploration.
In IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review, we noted that while the game has some weaker characters, its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer offer incredibly engaging freedom.

Far Cry 4 joins other PS4-era Ubisoft titles like Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins in receiving a retrospective upgrade. This has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, who are eagerly anticipating similar updates for other beloved titles such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3. However, the timing of the update left some players disappointed, as one user lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."
Last month, Ubisoft established a new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, backed by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move follows Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassed 3 million players. The company faced significant challenges with high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to Shadows' release, putting immense pressure on the game to succeed amidst a historic low in Ubisoft's share price.
In other news, Ubisoft recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, quietly enhancing the game's appeal to players.
