Two More Far Cry Games Are Getting A 60FPS Update

The other day Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 3: Classic Edition is getting a current-gen update on January 21st that will enable 60FPS on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Well, now they’ve announced that two more Far Cry titles are getting the same treatment.

First, we have the standalone Far Cry 3 expansion, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and then we have Far Cry: Primal. That last one was an interesting game because it took Far Cry back in time to where sabre-tooth tigers were a legitimate problem you had to consider when stepping outside your abode.

Both of these updates will also launch on January 21st for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X

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.

Personally, I’m tempted to give Primal a go. I’ve never played it because the idea did not appeal to me when it first launched, but these days it sounds like it could be fun.
