Far Cry 4, a game released over a decade ago, has received a surprise update for the PlayStation 5. The update, Version 1.08, introduces support for 60 frames per second (fps) on the PS5 console. This enhancement allows players to experience the game’s vast and colorful open world in a smoother and more visually appealing way.
The game was previously locked to 30fps on consoles. Far Cry 4 is set in the Himalayas and features one of the series’ most memorable antagonists, Pagan Min. The vertical landscape serves as both a picturesque backdrop and a playground for players to fight, hunt, and explore.
The game has maintained a loyal fan base over the years. Fans are excited about the update and hope that more Far Cry titles will receive similar treatment in the future.
Far Cry 4’s fluid visuals on PS5
Far Cry 4 is not the first Ubisoft game to receive such an update. The company has been revisiting many of its older titles to improve their frame rates on modern consoles. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed Origins are among the games that have received 60fps patches.
The Xbox Series X version of Far Cry 4 has been running at 60fps since 2021, thanks to Microsoft’s FPS Boost feature. With the game set to be added to Game Pass, more players will have the opportunity to experience the enhanced version. Ubisoft’s efforts to update its older games have been well received by the gaming community.
It demonstrates the company’s commitment to enhancing player experiences, even for titles released many years ago. While the Far Cry series is currently on pause as Ubisoft focuses on other projects, the company continues to support its extensive back catalog. The update to Far Cry 4 is a testament to this ongoing support.
