This enhancement was first noticed by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, where the game's update history for Version 1.08 confirms the addition of "support 60 FPS on PS5 console."

If you haven't experienced Far Cry 4 yet, now is the perfect time to dive in.

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles receiving performance upgrades, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The upgrade has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, with many expressing hopes that other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will also receive the 60 fps treatment soon.

However, the timing of the update left some players feeling 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 new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, backed by a significant €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese conglomerate Tencent. This move follows Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows surpassed 3 million players, a critical milestone amid a challenging period marked by high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations. The success of Shadows is crucial for Ubisoft, especially after its share price reached an all-time low.

Additionally, Ubisoft quietly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist earlier today, continuing its efforts to revitalize its back catalog.
