Ubisoft has once again hinted that three older Far Cry titles will soon receive a performance upgrade. Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Far Cry: Primal They should run at 60 frames per second in the future. No further details on the timing are available yet, but the These clues are anything but new..
Far Cry classic soon to get a 60fps patch
60 FPS updates are no longer a marketing gimmick for Ubisoft games, and are being added to numerous titles. as recently seen in The Division. Straight Far Cry 3 It thrives on fast-paced firefights, clear controls, and precise aiming. At 30 FPS, these classics simply felt dated recently, especially on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The update brings the games closer to today's technical standards without altering their original design. While not a full-fledged remake or remaster, it's at least a clean optimization. Ubisoft's decision to take this step after the successful 60 FPS patch for Far Cry 4 It's logical, and overdue.
Which games benefit?
are virtually confirmed Far Cry 3, Far Cry: Blood Dragon and Far Cry: Primal. Just Far Cry: Primal This should benefit: Close combat, fast movements and animal attacks appear significantly smoother at a higher frame rate.
It's currently unclear on which platforms the update will be released and whether further improvements will follow. However, the PS5 and Xbox are considered certain to receive it. So far, no mention has been made of resolution, loading times, or bug fixes, but not much more is likely.
Far Cry 7: Outwardly static, but in the background there's movement
In parallel, Far Cry 7 It's like a big question mark hanging over the series. Officially, Ubisoft remains silent, while Reports speak of a development, which could last for years. This is precisely where the 60-FPS updates take on a second meaning.
They keep the brand present without making false promises, but offer tangible added value for existing fans. That's down-to-earth and significantly more credible than vague hints about Far Cry 7.
Ubisoft is doing many things right with the 60 FPS upgrades. The classics are being technically enhanced, the community is getting real benefits, and Far Cry remains in discussion. For me, this is no replacement for Far Cry 7, but a useful stopgap. Now all that's missing is a clear timetable.
Ideally, all PS4 games should run at 60fps on PS5; it's a shame a publisher almost had to go bankrupt to make that happen.
FC 3. The last truly good FC.
