Far Cry: New Dawn Receives 60 FPS Update on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

Ubisoft delivers a performance boost to Far Cry: New Dawn, bringing smoother gameplay to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles with a new patch.

Fans of Far Cry: New Dawn can rejoice! Ubisoft has announced the release of a much-anticipated patch that significantly enhances the game’s performance on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. This update delivers a smooth 60 frames-per-second (FPS) experience, dramatically improving the overall gameplay fluidity and responsiveness.

The increased frame rate is a game-changer, particularly in the intense, action-packed moments of Far Cry: New Dawn. Previously, players experienced a noticeable drop in frame rate during particularly hectic combat encounters or when navigating densely populated areas. This update mitigates those issues, leading to a significantly more polished and enjoyable experience. The improved responsiveness makes aiming and maneuvering feel far more precise and intuitive, enhancing the overall strategic depth of the gameplay.

Beyond the framerate boost, this patch also includes various quality-of-life improvements. While Ubisoft hasn’t yet detailed the full extent of these additions, early reports from players suggest minor bug fixes and potential texture enhancements. The company is expected to release a more comprehensive patch note detailing the full scope of the update shortly.

This update is a welcome addition for those who have been waiting for a performance upgrade on next-gen consoles. Far Cry: New Dawn, despite its release predating the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, remains a popular choice among fans of the Far Cry franchise. Its post-apocalyptic setting and unique blend of action, exploration, and base building still offer an engaging gaming experience. The 60 FPS upgrade makes this experience even more immersive and enjoyable.

The patch is currently available for download on both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players can download the update through their respective console’s online stores. This free update represents a significant commitment from Ubisoft to its fans and is a clear demonstration of the company’s dedication to ongoing support for its titles, even those released some time ago. It serves as a reminder that even older games can benefit from substantial performance enhancements on newer hardware, making them more appealing to a wider audience.

While the 60fps is great, I’m still experiencing some minor texture glitches. Hopefully those will be fixed in a future patch. Overall though, a massive improvement.

The 60fps is nice, I’ll give them that. But I was hoping for more than just a framerate boost. The graphics still look a little dated, and I haven’t noticed any significant bug fixes. A bit underwhelming overall.

Disappointing. While the frame rate is better, the improved performance doesn’t justify going back to this game. Still feels dated in many aspects, even with the upgrade.
