Following up on the popular 60 FPS patch delivered to *Far Cry 4* last year, Ubisoft is extending the framerate boost to several other fan-favorite entries in the franchise. The publisher confirmed this week that *Far Cry 3: Classic Edition*, *Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Classic Edition*, and the prehistoric adventure *Far Cry Primal* are all slated to receive similar performance upgrades for current-generation consoles. The news initially broke via a somewhat cryptic social media post teasing the three titles and the highly desired 60 frames per second enhancement.
Players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S can expect these performance patches to go live this Wednesday, January 21. For the mainline *Far Cry 3* and its radical neon spin-off *Blood Dragon*, the update applies specifically to the “Classic Editions”—remastered ports originally released for the previous generation of consoles. Meanwhile, 2016’s *Far Cry Primal* is finally getting its long-overdue bump in fluidity.
It is important to note that this is purely a frame rate injection designed for smoother gameplay on modern hardware, allowing these chaotic open-world experiences to run significantly better. Users should not anticipate any sweeping graphical or textural enhancements. Regardless, for fans looking to jump back into Rook Island or the Stone Age, having these beloved titles run at a buttery-smooth 60 FPS provides a powerful incentive to revisit these classics.
