Far Cry 4 Hits 60fps on PS5

Over a decade since its launch, Far Cry 4 finally achieves silky-smooth 60fps gameplay on PlayStation 5.

As discovered by gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the latest Version 1.08 patch specifically mentions "60 FPS support for PS5 consoles" in its update notes.

For newcomers, this enhancement makes now the perfect time to experience Far Cry 4's gripping adventure. The game boasts one of the franchise's most memorable villains in Pagan Min, immersing players in Kyrat's vibrant Himalayan wilderness - where towering peaks aren't just scenery, but an interactive battleground for combat, wildlife encounters, and exploration.

"While character development falters, Far Cry 4 delivers exceptional freedom across its campaign and multiplayer modes," we noted in IGN's Far Cry 4 review, awarding it a "great" 8.5/10 score.

Far Cry 4 joins Ubisoft's growing list of PS4-era titles receiving modern performance boosts, following similar upgrades for Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. Naturally, this has sparked fan speculation in the subreddit about potential 60fps updates for other series favorites like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

The timing proved unfortunate for one player: "Seriously? I literally just earned the platinum trophy three days ago," complained the unlucky completionist.

This development follows Ubisoft's recent €1.16 billion (~$1.25 billion) partnership with Tencent to create a dedicated subsidiary focusing on its flagship franchises including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six.

The publisher faces mounting pressure after announcing Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassed 3 million players, coming off a turbulent period marked by commercial failures, staff reductions, studio shutdowns, and cancelled projects before Shadows' launch - all while company stocks reached record lows.

In related news, Ubisoft recently introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old tactical thriller Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
