Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft games that have been retrospectively upgraded in recent years, including titles like Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked excitement among fans on the subreddit, who are now eagerly anticipating similar enhancements for other beloved entries in the series, such as Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3. However, the timing wasn't ideal for everyone, with one player expressing their frustration after achieving the platinum trophy just days before the update: "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago," they lamented.

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. Ubisoft has faced significant challenges, including high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, which have placed immense pressure on the company, especially after its share price reached an all-time low. Additionally, Ubisoft has quietly added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further enhancing the gaming experience for its players.
