Eleven years since its launch, Far Cry 4 now delivers a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) experience 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."
This update makes it an excellent moment to revisit Far Cry 4, especially if you haven’t played it yet. Known for featuring 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. This landscape isn’t just visually stunning but serves as an engaging playground where exploration, hunting, and combat are encouraged.
In IGN’s review, Far Cry 4 was praised for its enjoyable freedom in both its campaign, co-op mode, and competitive multiplayer, earning it a solid 8.5/10 rating.

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of Ubisoft PS4-era titles receiving updates, following in the footsteps of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed Origins. Fans are hopeful this 60 fps enhancement will extend to other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
Ironically, this update arrived too late for some. As one frustrated player remarked, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."
Recently, Ubisoft established a new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, receiving a substantial €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move followed Ubisoft’s announcement that Assassin’s Creed Shadows surpassed 3 million players. Despite setbacks like high-profile failures, layoffs, studio closures, and canceled projects leading up to Shadows’ release, there’s immense pressure on Ubisoft to capitalize on this momentum after experiencing record-low stock prices.
In related news, Ubisoft quietly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old title, Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
