Far Cry 4 joins the ranks of other PS4-era Ubisoft games that have recently received performance upgrades, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The update has sparked enthusiasm among fans on the subreddit, with many expressing hopes that titles like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3 will also receive similar treatment. However, for some players, the update came just a bit too late. One unfortunate player lamented, "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago."

In other 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 significant €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 company has faced challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, putting immense pressure on Assassin's Creed Shadows to succeed, especially after Ubisoft's share price reached an all-time low.

Additionally, Ubisoft has recently added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further enhancing the value of this classic title.
