Ubisoft’s Far Cry 4, a popular open-world first-person shooter, has been enhanced with a new update nearly a decade after its initial launch. This latest patch improves the game’s performance on contemporary consoles, allowing for 60 frames per second (fps) gameplay on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. The game, originally developed by Ubisoft Montreal, was released in 2014 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, and Xbox Series consoles.
