Far Cry 4 joins the ranks of other PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, with many expressing hopes that other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will soon receive similar enhancements.
However, the timing of the update left some players disappointed. One user lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."
In other Ubisoft news, the company recently established a new 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. Ubisoft has faced significant challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, leading to intense pressure on Assassin's Creed Shadows to perform well, especially after the company's share price reached an all-time low.
Additionally, Ubisoft has quietly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further enhancing the gaming experience for its players.
