Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance enhancements in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked enthusiasm among fans on the subreddit, many of whom are now eagerly anticipating similar upgrades for other beloved titles like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
However, the timing of the update has left some players disappointed. One user lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago," highlighting the bittersweet nature of the update for some.
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, backed by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move follows the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players.
