Eleven years following its initial release, Far Cry 4 has been enhanced to run at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. As noted by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the game's update history reveals that Version 1.08 added "support for 60 FPS on PS5 console." If you haven't yet experienced this title, now is an excellent opportunity to dive in. With one of the series' most memorable villains, Pagan Min, Far Cry 4 immerses players in a vibrant and expansive open world, where the Himalayan terrain serves not only as a scenic setting but as an interactive playground for combat, hunting, and exploration.

IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review praised the game's engaging campaign, cooperative, and competitive multiplayer modes, despite noting weaker character development. "Far Cry 4 offers weak characters, but its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer feature incredibly fun freedom," the review stated.

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

Unfortunately, the timing of the update left some players disappointed. "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago," lamented one unfortunate player.

In related news, Ubisoft recently established a new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, backed by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese conglomerate Tencent. This move followed the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows had surpassed 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced significant challenges recently, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, putting immense pressure on the success of new releases after the company's stock hit an all-time low.

In a separate development, Ubisoft also discreetly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further showcasing their ongoing efforts to enhance their older titles.
