Ubisoft gives Far Cry 5 a 60FPS update on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it’ll be free to play for a weekend this month.
Montana cult simulator Far Cry 5 is five years old this month, and to celebrate, Ubisoft has given its US-set sandbox a current-gen refresh. If you own a copy of Far Cry 5 and a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S, you’ll now be able to enjoy the game at a silky 60 frames per second – so in other words, getting randomly attacked by a wolverine outside a remote petrol station now looks smoother than ever. As we wrote recently, Far Cry 5 is arguably the best unofficial A-Team game ever made. If you don’t own a copy of Far Cry 5, there’s some other news you might like: Ubisoft’s making the game free to play for one weekend only, between March 23 to 27. The offer applies to all platforms, too, so you’ll be able to give Far Cry 5 a test spin whether you own a console or PC.

Looking to the future, Ubisoft has two further games in the series on the horizon – a single-player sequel to Far Cry 6 that will probably be called Far Cry 7, and an as-yet untitled multiplayer take on the series. Reports suggest that the multiplayer Far Cry will be set in the chilly hinterlands of Alaska, and will be a extraction-based shooter. Both projects are said to be in development at Ubisoft Montreal, and will take advantage of the firm’s proprietary Snowdrop engine. Ubisoft has had a few wobbles of late, with a number of cancelled games and delays – its pirate-flavoured Skull & Bones feels as though it’s been in development for decades, and still doesn’t have a precise launch date. The other games on Ubisoft’s slate include Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and remakes of Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia. Far Cry 7, meanwhile, is reportedly scheduled for release in 2025.You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County!
