"Of course, Xbox technically already got 60fps in both titles via Backwards Compatibility. It's a real shame Microsoft has stopped bothering with all that. At launch, Blood Dragon was a cult hit. Critics loved its neon-soaked 80s satire, synth-heavy soundtrack, and willingness to be silly in ways the mainline games rarely dared. It felt like Ubisoft cutting loose, and the result was a tight, memorable spin-off that many still argue is one of the best things the series has ever produced."
"Primal had a more mixed reception. Some praised its bold setting, survival focus, and stripped-back approach to exploration, while others missed the guns and modern chaos that define Far Cry. Over time, though, it's earned a warmer reputation, with players appreciating it as a weird, atmospheric outlier that dared to do something genuinely different. Still, it's usually considered the black sheep of the family, if anyone remembers it all."
Ubisoft will update Far Cry 3: Classic Edition, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry: Primal to enable 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X on January 21st. Xbox consoles had previously achieved 60 FPS in Blood Dragon and Primal via Backwards Compatibility. Blood Dragon launched as a cult hit, praised for neon-soaked 80s satire, a synth-heavy soundtrack, playful silliness, and a tight, memorable spin-off design often considered among the series' best. Primal received mixed reviews, with praise for its bold prehistoric setting, survival focus, and atmospheric oddness, and criticism for the loss of guns and modern chaos. Primal's reputation has warmed over time, often regarded as an outlier.
