Far Cry 4 Hits 60fps on PS5

11 years after its release, Far Cry 4 now operates at silky-smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on PlayStation 5.

Discovered by gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the latest patch notes confirm Version 1.08 added native PS5 60fps compatibility.

This makes it the perfect opportunity to experience Far Cry 4 if you've missed it. Boasting one of gaming's most memorable villains, Pagan Min, the game drops players into Kyrat's breathtaking Himalayan landscape - more than just scenic vistas, these mountains serve as a dynamic sandbox for combat, exploration, and emergent gameplay.

"While Far Cry 4's characterization falters, its exhilarating open-ended gameplay shines across campaign, co-op, and multiplayer modes," noted our 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review.

The Definitive Far Cry Experiences

Far Cry 4 joins other PS4-era Ubisoft titles receiving modern performance upgrades, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. Naturally, this has sparked calls from the Far Cry community for similar enhancements to classics like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

The timing proved unfortunate for some players though, with one fan joking: "You've got to be kidding - I literally earned the platinum trophy three days ago."

This update follows Ubisoft's recent strategic moves, including forming a dedicated subsidiary for its major franchises backed by Tencent's $1.25 billion investment.

While Assassin's Creed Shadows recently surpassed 3 million players, Ubisoft faces mounting pressure after enduring high-profile failures, staff reductions, studio shutdowns, and cancelled projects leading up to its release.

In related news, Ubisoft stealthily implemented Steam Achievements for the 12-year-old tactical shooter Splinter Cell: Blacklist earlier today.
