More than a decade after its initial release, the developer finally released a surprise update for Far Cry 4 on PS5 platform on April 29. The latest Patch 1.08 finally adds the long-awaited 60 FPS support on the console.
Like Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed, and Watch Dogs, Far Cry is also one of the most popular series released by the developer. Before updating Far Cry 4, the developer had already created a spin-off Far Cry 5, Far Cry New Dawn, which added 60 FPS. So fans have been hoping that the developer would add 60 FPS to some old games on Xbox Series XS and PS5, and now this wish has finally come true.
Patch 1.08 Update Notes
Although the patch notes for Patch 1.08 are brief, this improvement is a huge step forward for players who revisit the game using PS5 backward compatibility. Before this, the game’s frame rate was limited to a low level, which greatly affected the game experience of players. Now it has better processing power after the console upgrade, which can bring players a clearer and smoother combat and adventure experience. The specific update content is as follows
- Added support for 60 FPS on PS5 Pro and PS5
- Addressed framerate drop and freezing issues.
- Added performance and stability improvements.
- Added other minor fixes
At the beginning of this month, an update of the game caused controversy among fans. Because the developer reviewed some nudity in the game and removed it. The model of the protagonist Ajie Geller was modified to cover certain elements, and the clothing of a female NPC was increased compared to the original version. This operation confused many fans. Shortly after this update, the developer said that this update was an accidental error, and the adapted game limited to some specific regions in Japan was accidentally uploaded onto the global Steam platform.
The original intention of the update was to make the game more in line with the standards of modern content. Now the technical error has been corrected and the original global version has been restored. Players who encounter problems please restart Steam and install the latest update. The developer also said that they have no plans to modify the game content for other regions.
Far Cry 4 was first released in November 2014 and became a huge hit after its release. It is still the leader of the series. The game has won praise from many players across the region for its open environment design, interesting gameplay and wonderful game scenes. It also combines branching plots such as first-person combat and exploration.
The game is set in Kyrat, a city in the fictional Himalayan country, and mainly tells the story of Ajay Ghale who is involved in the civil war between dictator Pagan Min and the rebel Golden Path.
In addition, the studio has also added Steam achievements to games such as Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag, Far Cry 5, Watch Dogs, etc. The developer’s new game Assassin’s Creed Shadows has also added this feature, and the game has added achievements on the first day of its launch on Steam.
