"Despite all the company's various issues and flaws, one thing Ubisoft does that's rather nice is randomly spitting out updates for its older titles and this time it's Far Cry 3: Classic Edition getting the love. On January 21st, Far Cry 3: Classic Edition will get a 60FPS update for "current-gen consoles". That is PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S, if are unsure. The news was revealed on Ubisoft's official X account."
"If you were hoping for more, better hit the brakes. This is purely a framerate update - no improved resolutions, textures or anything else. Interestingly, anybody who owns an Xbox Series S/X could already play the original version of Far Cry 3 at 60FPS via backwards compatibility and the excellent FPS Boost. However, the updated Far Cry 3: Classic Edition was capped at 30fps on Xbox and PlayStation, although in return, you get improved graphics."
"While some on social media are already acting disappointed by how small the update is, I'm very happy with it. Going back and enabling higher framerates on older games is something I'd like to see a lot of other companies do. I've actually been pondering giving Far Cry 3: Classic Edition a go to see how the game holds up these days, so this is just an extra reason to jump in."
Ubisoft will release a 60FPS update for Far Cry 3: Classic Edition on January 21st for PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S. The update affects only framerate and does not add higher resolutions, improved textures, or other graphical enhancements. Xbox Series S/X users could already run the original Far Cry 3 at 60FPS via backwards compatibility and FPS Boost, while the Classic Edition had been capped at 30FPS despite offering improved graphics. Reactions are mixed, with some disappointed by the limited scope and others welcoming higher framerates for older games. Ubisoft continues layoffs and plans remasters of other titles.
