Eleven years after its initial release, Far Cry 4 now delivers silky-smooth 60fps gameplay on PlayStation 5.
As discovered by gael_74 and shared on the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the game's latest patch notes confirm Version 1.08 adds "60 FPS support for PS5 consoles."
For those who haven't experienced it yet, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into Far Cry 4. Boasting one of gaming's most memorable villains in Pagan Min, the game drops players into Kyrat's vibrant open world - where the Himalayan terrain serves as far more than eye candy, actively encouraging combat, exploration, and vertical gameplay.
While IGN's Far Cry 4 review noted some character weaknesses, it praised the title's "great" 8.5/10 experience: "Far Cry 4 delivers incredibly fun freedom across its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer modes."

Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles receiving next-gen enhancements, following similar upgrades for Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. Naturally, this has sparked calls from fans hoping Ubisoft will extend the 60fps treatment to beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
Some players expressed frustration with the update's timing, with one fan commenting: "Seriously? I just earned the platinum trophy three days ago."
This development follows Ubisoft's recent restructuring, including a strategic partnership with Tencent that secured a €1.16 billion investment (~$1.25 billion) focused on core franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six.
The announcement comes amid significant corporate challenges for Ubisoft, including multiple commercial failures, workforce reductions, studio shutdowns, and canceled projects preceding Assassin's Creed Shadows' successful launch and subsequent shareholder pressures.
In related news, Ubisoft recently introduced Steam Achievements for the classic Splinter Cell: Blacklist, demonstrating ongoing support for legacy titles.
