"Far Cry 4 Achieves 60fps on PS5"

Eleven years following its initial release, Far Cry 4 has been enhanced to run at a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) on the PlayStation 5. This update, identified by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, was part of the game's Version 1.08 update, which explicitly states it now supports "60 FPS on PS5 console." If you haven't experienced the game yet, this is the perfect moment to dive in. Far Cry 4 immerses players in a vivid and expansive open world set against the backdrop of the Himalayas, not just as a scenic view but as an interactive playground where you can engage in combat, hunt, and explore. The game boasts one of the series' most memorable villains, Pagan Min.

In IGN's Far Cry 4 review, which rated the game a "great" 8.5/10, we noted that while the characters might be underwhelming, the campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes offer incredibly engaging gameplay and freedom.

Far Cry 4 joins the ranks of other PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance upgrades, such as Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This has sparked enthusiasm among fans on the subreddit, who are now eagerly anticipating similar enhancements for other beloved titles like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3. However, the timing of the update left some players disappointed, with one expressing their frustration after achieving the platinum trophy just days before the update: "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago," they lamented.

In related news, Ubisoft recently established a new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, backed by a substantial €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move comes on the heels of Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players. The company has faced significant challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, which have put considerable pressure on the success of Assassin's Creed Shadows after Ubisoft's share price reached an all-time low.

Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, a move that was quietly implemented but welcomed by the game's community.
