Old But Not Forgotten, Far Cry New Dawn Gets 60fps Patch on PS5 | Push Square
Ubisoft has announced over the weekend that it is returning to PS4 game Far Cry: New Dawn to give it a 60 frames-per-second enhancement patch when running on PS5. It will presumably release on Tuesday, 4th February 2025 to coincide with the Xbox Game Pass launch, allowing PS5 owners to experience a smoother version of the 2019 Far Cry 5 spin-off.
The patch was confirmed late on Friday night after Xbox Series X|S owners noticed they'd lost the ability to perform an FPS Boost on the title. In order to implement the update on Xbox systems, the feature has to be disabled temporarily. As the PS5 doesn't sport such a feature, it's a simple update to the PS4 version. The shooter is available on PS Plus Extra, so this improved version can be played without charge for current members.
French publisher Ubisoft has quietly been doing a fantastic job supporting its last-gen games with FPS patches on PS5. In the years since the console's launch, titles such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey, The Crew 2, Assassin's Creed Origins, Far Cry 5, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate have all been enhanced.
In our Far Cry: New Dawn PS4 review, we awarded a 6/10 rating and said: «Its streamlined RPG elements do add some welcome structure, but this trek through Hope County may seem familiar to a fault. It's almost a shame that Ubisoft didn't go all-in on making New Dawn a totally over-the-top spin-off, rather than a sequel that struggles to tell an all-too-serious story.»

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
Damn, RDR2 and Bloodborne still do not have 60 fps on PS5 (and PS5 Pro!).
Not as good as Far Cry 5 but I still really enjoyed it tbh. Used to love the old Far Cry expandalones, shame that they didn’t do one for FC6.
