Surprise Far Cry 4 update brings 60FPS support to current-gen consoles

In the years since the launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S we’ve seen a ton of games receive free current-gen patches. One publisher which has shown a great deal of support in this regard is Ubisoft. Following the likes of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Far Cry 5, 2014’s classic Far Cry 4 has now gotten a 60fps patch on consoles.

In a surprise update, the decade-old Far Cry 4 has received a patch (ver.1.08) on PlayStation 5 which unlocks the game’s framerate cap to allow for 60fps gameplay, with the team writing: “30 FPS? Fucking cute. Now, lean in…Far Cry 4 just whispered its way to a smooth 60 FPS upgrade on current gen consoles. Let the chaos seduce you.”

While certainly a welcome addition, it does not seem as though the patch introduced any further enhancements. For context, the aforementioned Assassin’s Creed Syndicate received a current-gen patch which not only ran the game at 60fps, but also in 4K.

That being said, unlike Far Cry 4, Syndicate was one of the titles which supported the PS4 Pro at the time – meaning it already had a slightly higher resolution option available to work off of.

Regardless of whether it still runs at just 1080p, it is welcome to see Ubisoft continue to support their games over a decade on from release, especially for free.
