Key Highlights:
- Ubisoft adds native 60FPS support for Far Cry 4 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Players can now experience smoother gameplay without FPS Boost workarounds.
- Far Cry 4 also receives a major discount and joins Xbox Game Pass soon.
Ubisoft has quietly rolled out a surprise update to Far Cry 4, bringing native 60 frames per second support to both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
This enhancement arrives over a decade after the game’s original release and finally unlocks the kind of fluid gameplay experience that current-gen players expect, without relying on Xbox’s FPS Boost or any emulation layer.
The update, Version 1.08 on PlayStation, was first spotted by fans on Reddit and confirmed shortly after by Ubisoft.
It’s free for all players and brings parity across platforms, allowing fans to explore Kyrat at a much smoother frame rate.
Ubisoft’s official statement puts it best:
“Whether you’re wingsuiting out of a gyrocopter for an aerial incursion or wielding a rocket launcher atop an elephant as you charge into battle, the beautiful scenery and unbridled chaos have never been so inviting on console.”
But there’s more. To celebrate the update, Far Cry 4 has been discounted across all platforms for a limited time.
Xbox and PC players get an extra bonus, the game is set to hit Xbox Game Pass in the coming weeks, expanding access to a new generation of players.
Ubisoft has given a recent push to enhance its back catalogue.
This move follows Ubisoft’s broader commitment to preserving and enhancing its legacy titles.
Other older games like Assassin’s Creed Origins and Syndicate have also received performance patches in recent years, and the trend appears to be continuing.
Ubisoft’s new subsidiary, backed by Tencent’s €1.16 billion investment, signals long-term plans to extract more value from iconic brands like Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, and Rainbow Six.
The update gives new life to one of the most beloved entries in the Far Cry series, especially due to its standout villain Pagan Min and its vibrant Himalayan setting.
The combination of vertical traversal, open-ended combat, and RPG-lite mechanics continues to hold up and now, it runs better than ever.
Whether you’re returning to Kyrat or discovering it for the first time, now is arguably the best time to play Far Cry 4. With modern performance standards and new accessibility through Game Pass.
