Ubisoft has quietly updated another one of its games, as Far Cry 4 can now run at 60fps on PS5. Curiously, the Xbox 360 version of Far Cry 4 did run at 60fps on Xbox Series X|S using the FPS Boost function, but it was later disabled. Far Cry 4 will also be added to Game Pass this month, so it might also be getting a fresh update.
Far Cry 4 was previously locked to 30fps on PS5, and this graphical improvement (via Reddit) follows a recent trend of Ubisoft revisiting some of its older games. Earlier this week, Splinter Cell: Blacklist was updated to support Steam achievements and not too long ago, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate got a 60fps patch on Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
Beyond that bit of news, there will now be a new focus on the Far Cry series now that Ubisoft has made a major change to its organization. The company recently announced the formation of a new subsidiary focused specifically on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six franchises, and Tencent owns a minority stake in it after investing $1.25 billion.
The last Far Cry game released was Far Cry 6 back in 2021, and there have been rumors that Ubisoft wants to shake up the franchise’s open-world formula for its next two entries. One of these rumored games–an extraction-based multiplayer shooter under the codename of Project Maverick–has reportedly been rebooted while work continues on Operation Blackbird, which is said to be Far Cry 7.
