Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The update has sparked enthusiasm among fans on the subreddit, many of whom are now eagerly anticipating similar enhancements for other beloved titles such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
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 related news, Ubisoft 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 faced several challenges leading up to Shadows' release, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, which have put significant pressure on the company as its share price reached an all-time low.
Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further demonstrating their commitment to updating and enhancing their older titles.
