If you haven't experienced Far Cry 4 yet, now is an excellent opportunity to dive in.

Far Cry 4 joins the ranks of other PS4-era Ubisoft titles that have received performance enhancements in recent years, such as Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. The update has sparked enthusiasm among fans on the subreddit, who are now eagerly requesting similar upgrades for other beloved entries like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.
Unfortunately, the timing was off for some players, with one expressing frustration after achieving the platinum trophy just days before the update: "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, with a significant €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent.
This development follows the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows has surpassed 3 million players. Ubisoft has faced numerous challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations leading up to Shadows' release. The success of this title is crucial as Ubisoft'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 value and appeal of their older titles.
