"Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5"

Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 has received a significant upgrade, now running at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. As noted by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the update to Version 1.08 has introduced "support 60 FPS on PS5 console."

This enhancement makes it an ideal time to dive into Far Cry 4, especially if you haven't experienced it yet. The game is renowned for its compelling antagonist, Pagan Min, and immerses players in a vibrant and expansive open-world set amidst the stunning Himalayan landscapes. These environments are not merely scenic; they serve as an interactive playground where players can engage in combat, hunting, and exploration.

While Far Cry 4 may have its shortcomings in character development, its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes offer a highly enjoyable sense of freedom. This was highlighted in IGN's "great" review, which scored the game an 8.5 out of 10.

View 11 ImagesFar Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have been retrospectively upgraded in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This development has sparked excitement among Far Cry enthusiasts on the subreddit, many of whom are eager for similar updates to other beloved entries in the series, such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

However, the timing of the update was unfortunate for some, as one player lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."

In related news, Ubisoft recently established a new subsidiary company focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, with 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 has faced challenges with several high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to Shadows' release, intensifying the pressure for it to perform well amidst a historic low in Ubisoft's share price.

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