"Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5"

Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 has received a significant update, now running at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. This enhancement was brought to light by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, where it was noted that Version 1.08 added "support for 60 FPS on PS5 console." If you haven't experienced this title yet, now is an excellent opportunity to dive in. Far Cry 4 not only features one of the series' most memorable villains, Pagan Min, but also immerses players in a vast and vibrant open-world set against the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas. This environment isn't just for show; it serves as a dynamic playground that encourages players to engage in combat, hunt, and explore.

In IGN's Far Cry 4 review, we praised the game for its "incredibly fun freedom" in its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer, despite noting some weaknesses in its characters, earning it a commendable 8.5/10 rating.

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft games receiving retrospective upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, who are now eagerly anticipating similar enhancements for other beloved titles like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

However, the timing of the update was a bit of a letdown for some, with one player lamenting, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."

In other Ubisoft news, the company 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 Tencent. This move follows the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassed 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced numerous challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to Shadows' release, placing immense pressure on the game to succeed amid a historic low in the company's share price.

Additionally, Ubisoft quietly added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, marking another effort to refresh older titles in their catalog.
