Far Cry 6 Runs at 4K and 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X

Ubisoft finally revealed gameplay footage of Far Cry 6 today, and unsurprisingly, the game looks [...]

Speaking to publication VGC in a new interview, Ubisoft Toronto's lead gameplay designer David Grivel said that Far Cry 6 is going to be a much better experience on next-gen platforms for those who do own one of the new consoles. To be more specific, Grivel confirmed the specs outright for these upgraded pieces of hardware. "One detail I can add about the new generation is that it allowed us to run the game at 60 FPS and in 4K, which is really cool," Grivel explained.

While Far Cry 6 might reach these benchmarks on PS5 and Xbox Series X, Grivel made sure to also note that those playing on last-gen platforms won't receive a lesser version of the game. "As we go in the next few weeks and months, we’ll definitely start showing more on different platforms," he made clear. "What I can say, and I cannot go so much in details about specs or things like that, is that both on previous generation and the new Xbox Series and PS5 generation, the game is running fine." No matter where you might look to play Far Cry 6, Grivel sounds confident that the final product will be well-optimized for all hardware, which is definitely encouraging.

2k upscaled is not a 4k ffs . Companies need to stop friggin flat out lying.

So f true, they shouldn't be able to advertise other than the native res.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Day one

 

[DavidGzz]

Idc about true 4k, as long as it's 60fps. I can't go back.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

The game looks like a last gen game so 60fps doesn't surprise me at all.

Was going to say this, but let's be honest. Every claim of this on console has been at some cost, either through checkerboarding or dynamic scaling.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

why is every video of this widescreen?

 

[assurdum]

Here we go again.

 

[mckmas8808]

So what's the native resolution of the game, for real?

 

[Fake]

Impossible. Only one can run at 4k.

 

[SlimySnake]

Of course it runs at 4k 60 fps. It looks last gen as fuck and is clearly designed to run at 1080p 30 fps on last gen consoles.

That's why I find the 30 fps hate for Horizon so bizarre. You are not getting those visuals at 4k 60 fps. I hope they release a 1080p-1440p 60 fps version, but 30 fps is the price you pay for next gen visauls.

 

[GuinGuin]

It better. The character models and environments look last gen but with new gen lighting.

Was Horizon native 4k?

If it was then 60fps will come easy on that game by dropping resolution and checkerboarding.

If it was already checkerboarded at 30, then nothing can be done.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

Before these consoles launched I think most of us were saying "forget native 4K push the visuals and maybe the framerate while using faux k" and now that they do that people are complaining about it not being native lol. If you don't see the word "native" in front of 4K for a game this new gen just assume it's dynamic res or some form of reconstruction.

 

[kyussman]

I love me some Far Cry and this looked great....I've just pre-ordered the gold edition for PS5.....I don't have a PS5 but I want in on next gen goddammit!.....I'll have one by October won't I.....won't I?.....son of a bitch!

 

[makaveli60]

Oh fuck I hope at least there will be a quality option with better graphics at 30 fps. I don’t want to play in soap opera mode... might have to buy the ps4 version instead...

 

[Insane Metal]

4K*

 

[Kangx]

I think it's the same engine as ac Valhalla and Fenix rising. If this is the case, which most likely, it's going to be dynamic 4k and average around 1440p. This game is going to favor the ps5 performance wise.

 

[Denton]

Zero chance it runs native 4K at 60fps. Developers should really stop misrepresenting it.

Temporaly-reconstructed 4K is still a good deal. I'm just assuming nothing is TRUE 4K these day unless explicitly stated, just like all the "4K" movies at 2K.

Of course it is, native is waste of performance. But they should still call it what it is.

 

[01011001]

no it doesn't.

it's gonna be dynamic 4k, dropping to 1440p

 

[Chiggs]

Glad to see 60FPS is present...even if there's dynamic res.

 

[Inviusx]

Sure why not, it's cross gen so dynamic 4k 60 should be no problem.

 

[kinjx11]

If this game is out this October that means no new AAA title from Ubisoft this year

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

4k/60fps with more than likely most assets being low-medium across the board, meh.

 

[Chukhopops]

Even if it’s something like 1620p / 1800p 60fps I’m happy. Recent Ubisoft games have all ranged from good (WD:L) to amazing (Fenyx) so I’m optimistic about this one.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

2k upscaled is not a 4k ffs . Companies need to stop friggin flat out lying.

Same with DLSS should be called 1080p upscaled as well.

 

[assurdum]

Same with DLSS should be called 1080p upscaled as well.

From what I knew 1440p it's the more common native resolution used via DLSS but I admit to not follow it from awhile

Most PC players do 1080p with DLSS actually.

 

[jigglet]

“4K”

 

[xrnzaaas]

Yeah I'm really hoping that new AAA games will offer 60fps as standard, at least in the performance mode.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Of course it runs at 4k 60 fps. It looks last gen as fuck and is clearly designed to run at 1080p 30 fps on last gen consoles.

I've always said if you care about resolutions and frame rates. You should ditch the consoles and head over to PC.

 

[Ogbert]

All over this - looks a lot of fun.

Hopefully there’s adaptive trigger support.

 

[Klik]

For all games, I would rather have 1440p+better visual fidelity than 4k+lower visual fidelity

 

[Shubh_C63]

With those graphics, you bet that's the least we should expect.
Actually excited for FC game for once.

 

[Zuzu]

The graphics don't look that great so this isn't too surprising.
