It's unusual for Ubisoft to release a “next-gen” patch for a game that came out half a decade ago, in addition to promising new announcements “over the next three weeks.” Meanwhile, PS5 players can experience Far Cry 5 at 3K (2,880 x 1,620) resolution. Those on the Xbox Series X will now be able to run the game at 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution, whereas the inferior Xbox Series S will run it at full-HD 1080p resolution.

Ubisoft reiterates that the 60fps patch applies to all Far Cry 5 game modes, including the three main DLCs - Lost on Mars, Hours of darkness, and Dead Living Zombies. Far Cry 5 is also being offered on sale for up to 85 percent off, across Ubisoft Connect, Microsoft Store, and the PlayStation store.

The game will also enjoy a free weekend from March 23 to March 27 across all consoles and PC, with progression carrying over to the full game if you decide to purchase it. As part of its fifth-anniversary celebration, Ubisoft has released a free update, promising more new content on the way. Far Cry 5 has received a 60fps patch for its PS5 and Xbox Series S/X versions.
