Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S both have the ability to run Far Cry 5 at 60 FPS, but it may need to be enabled first depending on which console players are using. The ability to increase the frame rate for this game is due to the FPS Boost function on the Series X and Series S, and enabling it will enhance the visual quality of the game. FPS Boost is also available for other select titles, including several Far Cry, Fallout, and Assassin's Creed games.
Increasing the frame rate for any game will make it run smoother and enhance the immersive experience. When frame rates drop or are put on a lower setting, it can lead to slow and choppy gameplay. It's always recommended that players choose the highest available frame rate to avoid performance issues. The only downside to enabling the FPS Boost is that the resolution goes from 4K to 1080p.

Typically, Far Cry 5 runs at 30 FPS on Xbox consoles, but the frame rate is doubled when the boost is turned on.

However, the default setting for Xbox Series X is the 4K, 30 FPS mode. Luckily, for those playing on Xbox Series X, it only takes a few easy steps to turn on the FPS Boost for a better experience in Far Cry 5.
