Far Cry 4 joins a growing list of PS4-era Ubisoft games that have received retrospective upgrades in recent years, including Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. This update has sparked excitement among the Far Cry community, with many fans on the subreddit expressing hopes that similar enhancements will soon be applied to other beloved titles 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 bittersweet nature of the update for some.

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 significant €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move comes on the heels of 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, leading to a historic low in its share price.

In a quieter move, Ubisoft also added Steam Achievements to the 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist, further demonstrating the company's commitment to enhancing its older titles.
