Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft games that have received performance enhancements in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The upgrade has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, with many hoping that other beloved titles such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will soon receive similar updates to run at 60 fps.

However, the timing of the update left some players feeling a bit unlucky. One player lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."

In other Ubisoft news, the company recently established a subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchises, bolstered by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese giant Tencent. This move followed the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows had surpassed 3 million players. The release of Shadows comes at a critical time for Ubisoft, which has faced several high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, resulting in its share price reaching an all-time low. The success of Shadows is crucial for the company's recovery.

Additionally, Ubisoft recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, enhancing the game's appeal to new and returning players.
