Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 now operates smoothly at 60 frames per second (fps) on PlayStation 5. As noted by gael_74 and highlighted in the Far Cry 4 subreddit, Version 1.08 of the game includes support for 60 FPS on PS5 consoles.
If you haven’t played it yet, now’s the perfect opportunity to dive into Far Cry 4. Boasting one of the series’ most memorable antagonists, Pagan Min, the game immerses players in a vibrant open world set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayas—a landscape that serves both as a stunning visual element and an engaging arena encouraging exploration, hunting, and combat.
In IGN’s Far Cry 4 review, which awarded the game an impressive 8.5/10, we praised its campaign, cooperative multiplayer, and competitive modes for offering "incredibly fun freedom."

Far Cry 4 is part of a growing trend where Ubisoft has retroactively enhanced its PS4-era titles, similar to Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed Origins. Fans are now hopeful that other beloved entries in the series, such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3, will receive the same 60 fps treatment.
Unfortunately, this update arrived too late for some players. "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago," lamented one frustrated gamer.
Last month, Ubisoft established a subsidiary company focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, receiving a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese conglomerate Tencent.
This announcement followed Ubisoft’s recent success with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which surpassed 3 million players. However, the company faced numerous challenges, including high-profile failures, layoffs, studio closures, and canceled projects leading up to the game’s launch. There is significant pressure on Ubisoft to continue delivering strong performances, especially after its stock price reached historic lows.
Today, Ubisoft quietly added Steam achievements to the 12-year-old classic, Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
