Eleven years after its debut, Far Cry 4 now boasts a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. This enhancement was noted by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, where the update history for the game indicates that Version 1.08 introduced "support 60 FPS on PS5 console."
If you haven't yet experienced this title, now is an opportune moment to dive into Far Cry 4. Featuring one of the series' most memorable antagonists, Pagan Min, the game immerses players in a vibrant and expansive open-world set amidst the vertical landscapes of the Himalayas. This isn't merely a scenic backdrop; it's an interactive playground that invites players to engage in combat, hunt, and explore. Despite its characters being somewhat underdeveloped, the game's campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes offer a thrilling sense of freedom, as noted in IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review.

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft games receiving retrospective upgrades, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This development has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, who are eagerly anticipating similar enhancements for other beloved titles such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
However, the timing of the update left some players disappointed. One user lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."
In other Ubisoft news, the company recently established a 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 surpassed 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced challenges with high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to Shadows' release, placing significant pressure on the game to succeed amidst the company's historically low share prices.
Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, quietly enhancing the experience for players on that platform.
