Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 5 (@FarCrygame) now supports native 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. This feature was one of the most highly requested by fans and is now available via a free patch as part of the Far Cry 5 anniversary celebration. The 60 FPS boost applies to all Far Cry 5 modes, including solo campaign, co-op, Arcade, and all downloadable content.

"In addition to a smoother visual experience, Xbox Series X|S players will receive enhanced resolution for Far Cry 5. Xbox Series X will be able to run the game with a 3840x2160 and 4K resolution, while Xbox Series S will run it at a 1920x1080."

Under siege and cut off from the rest of the world in rural Hope County, Montana, by a fanatical doomsday cult, players will need to join forces with residents to create a resistance and liberate the community and themself. Players will have to take to the skies in dogfights against cultists across Big Sky Country; destroy cult supplies with vehicles, explosives, and more; and recruit Guns for Hire from a large cast of characters, or even Fangs for Hire, specialised animals like bears and cougars to complement players’ playstyles whether they’re going in stealthily or forcefully. How players approach each situation and the chaos they create in Far Cry 5 is up to them.

Ubisoft also announced a free weekend** for Far Cry 5 from 23rd to 27th March on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store. Players can also subscribe to Ubisoft+ on PC and Amazon Luna***. Players will have access to all the main game content throughout the free weekend and can take advantage of up to 85 percent off Far Cry 5 to continue their adventure.
