Ubisoft announced a 60fps update for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in honor of Far Cry 5’s fifth birthday. This update, which is currently accessible, is applicable to every mode in Far Cry 5. The solo campaign, co-op mode, Arcade (Far Cry 5’s map editor), and all DLC are all covered by this.
Along with this nice 60fps improvement, Ubisoft is also offering a free weekend for Far Cry 5, and more announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
From March 23 to 27, this free weekend will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch (via the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store).
Players will have free access to the main Far Cry 5 game this weekend. Then, if this has sufficiently whetted your appetite, players can save up to 85% on Far Cry 5 to carry on with the plot and discover more of the hostile, rural Hope County.
You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County!
Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS – available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW!#FarCry5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC.
Enjoy!#FarCry5Anniversary

Edwin Evans-Thirlwell referred to Far Cry 5 as a “competent yet conflicted open-worlder” in the 2018 review.
“The first installment to be set in North America, Far Cry 5 is Far Cry at its least engrossing, clumsiest and most basic, though there’s still just enough going on here to keep a returning fan involved,” he wrote at the time.

He was more complimentary of the game’s Arcade mode, though. He even referred to it as the “heart” of Far Cry 5.
