Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 has been updated to run at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. This update, as noted by user gael_74 on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, is detailed in the game's Version 1.08 update history, which mentions "support 60 FPS on PS5 console." If you haven't experienced the game yet, now is an excellent time to dive into Far Cry 4. The game boasts one of the series' most memorable villains, Pagan Min, and immerses players in a vibrant open-world set against the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas. This setting isn't just eye candy; it's a dynamic playground that invites you to engage in combat, hunt, and explore its vertical landscapes.

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance enhancements, 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 upgrades for other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

However, the timing of the update left some players disappointed. One unfortunate user lamented on the subreddit, "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 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 significant challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, putting immense pressure on the success of Assassin's Creed Shadows amid a historic low in the company's share price.

Additionally, Ubisoft made a quiet update today by adding Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
