More than a decade after its initial release, Far Cry 4 now operates at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on PlayStation 5.
As first noticed by gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the game's update history confirms that Version 1.08 added "support for 60 FPS on the PS5 console."
If you haven't experienced it yet, now is an excellent time to dive into Far Cry 4. The game features one of the franchise's most memorable villains, Pagan Min, and immerses you in a vast, vibrant open world. The towering Himalayan landscape is not merely a scenic backdrop; it's a dynamic playground that invites you to engage in combat, hunting, and exploration.
In IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review, we noted: "While Far Cry 4 may have weaker character development, its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer offer an incredible degree of enjoyable freedom."

Far Cry 4 is the most recent in a series of Ubisoft titles from the PS4 era to receive performance upgrades, a list that includes Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. Unsurprisingly, this has excited the Far Cry community, with fans on the subreddit expressing hope that other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will soon get the same 60 fps enhancement.
Regrettably, the update arrived a bit late for some players. One individual expressed their bad luck: "You've got to be kidding me. I just earned the platinum trophy for this game three days ago."
Last month, Ubisoft established a new subsidiary focused on its prized Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six properties, backed by a substantial €1.16 billion (roughly $1.25 billion) investment from the Chinese tech giant Tencent.
This development followed Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows had already surpassed 3 million players. Prior to the release of Shadows, Ubisoft faced a challenging period marked by several high-profile commercial failures, widespread layoffs, studio shutdowns, and cancelled projects. With the company's share price hitting a historic low, there is immense pressure for its new releases to succeed.
In other news today, Ubisoft discreetly introduced Steam Achievements for the 12-year-old title Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
