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. This update has sparked enthusiasm among fans on the subreddit, many of whom are now hoping for similar enhancements to other beloved titles in the series such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
Unfortunately, the timing of the update has left some players disappointed. One such player expressed their frustration, stating, "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, a significant milestone for Ubisoft amidst a challenging period marked by several high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations. The success of Shadows is crucial for Ubisoft as it seeks to recover from a historic low in its share price.
Additionally, Ubisoft has quietly introduced Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, adding another layer of engagement for players revisiting the classic stealth game.
