What's New

Ubisoft has rolled out free performance updates for three legacy entries in its open-world shooter series. Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal now target 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. The increase in frame rate is aimed at a smoother feel across firefights, exploration, and traversal, bringing older titles closer to the fluidity players expect on current hardware.

The update focuses on performance – higher frame rates help stabilize camera movement and responsiveness, while letting the series’ varied settings stand out with more consistent motion.

Game-by-Game Overview

Far Cry 3 – Rook Islands at a Higher Frame Rate

The return to the Rook Islands benefits from 60 FPS during firefights, stealth sections, and open-world roaming. The tropical setting – from dense jungles to shoreline outposts – is presented with more fluid motion, aligning the 2012 classic with modern console expectations without altering its core systems.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – Retro-Futuristic Chaos, Now Smoother

• Performance lift: Targets 60 FPS on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S for more consistent action pacing.
• Distinct tone: The 2007-style dystopia, neon palette, and synth-laced aesthetic benefit from steadier motion during gunfights and traversal.
• Standalone scope: The experience remains self-contained, with the update focused on fluidity rather than changing content.

Key Platform Details

• Platforms: PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S
• Update type: Free performance update
• Target: 60 FPS across all three titles

The Bottom Line – Why This Matters

Legacy Far Cry entries now play closer to modern standards, with 60 FPS support on current consoles. For players revisiting the series – or discovering it – the performance boost delivers more responsive combat and smoother exploration across three very different worlds.
