Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received retrospective upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This development has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, many of whom are now eagerly anticipating similar enhancements for other beloved titles in the series, 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," highlighting the frustration of missing out on the improved performance by a mere few days.

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 Ubisoft's announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players. The success of Shadows is crucial for Ubisoft, which has faced challenges with high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, contributing to a historic low in the company's share price.

Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further expanding the game's appeal to a new generation of players.
