11 years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 now delivers a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) performance on PlayStation 5.
As first noted by user gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the game’s update notes for Version 1.08 confirm the addition of "60 FPS support on PS5 console."
This enhancement makes it an ideal moment to experience or revisit Far Cry 4. The title immerses players in one of the most vibrant open worlds in the series, set against the majestic Himalayas. The landscape is more than just scenery—it's a dynamic environment designed for combat, exploration, and discovery. And then there's Pagan Min, one of the franchise’s most memorable antagonists.
As highlighted in IGN’s 8.5/10 “great” review, Far Cry 4 features a campaign that blends intense storytelling with chaotic freedom. It also supports co-op play and competitive multiplayer modes, offering a variety of gameplay experiences.

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of Ubisoft titles originally developed for PS4 that have received performance improvements for newer hardware. Other examples include Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. Naturally, this has sparked hopes among fans that games like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 may soon receive similar updates.
However, for some players, the timing couldn’t be better—or worse: One user humorously lamented, “You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago.”
In related news, Ubisoft recently established a new subsidiary focused on expanding its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises. The move comes with a significant €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese tech giant Tencent.
This announcement followed shortly after Ubisoft revealed that Assassin's Creed Shadows had surpassed 3 million players. The company has faced numerous challenges recently, including several high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations. With its stock price hitting record lows, the success of Shadows represents a crucial turning point for the studio.
Adding to the recent wave of updates, Ubisoft also quietly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old title Splinter Cell: Blacklist earlier today.
