"Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5"

Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 has received a significant performance boost, now running at 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. This update was first noticed by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, where it was revealed that Version 1.08 of the game introduced "support 60 FPS on PS5 console." This enhancement makes it an opportune time for both new and returning players to dive into the game. Far Cry 4 is renowned for its compelling antagonist, Pagan Min, and sets players loose in a vibrant open-world environment. The Himalayas not only serve as a picturesque setting but also act as an interactive playground that invites players to engage in combat, hunting, and exploration.

In IGN's Far Cry 4 review, the game earned a "great" rating of 8.5/10, with praise for its engaging campaign, cooperative, and competitive multiplayer modes that offer a sense of freedom, though it noted the characters could be stronger.

Far Cry 4 joins a list of PS4-era Ubisoft games that have received retrospective upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This has sparked excitement among the Far Cry community on the subreddit, with many fans expressing hopes that other beloved titles such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will soon receive similar updates to enhance their performance to 60 fps.

However, the timing of the update left some players feeling unfortunate. One player lamented, "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 brands, backed by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move follows the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced challenges with high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to the release of Shadows, placing significant pressure on the title to perform well amid a historically low share price.

Additionally, Ubisoft has quietly added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further showcasing the company's efforts to update and enhance its older titles.
