Ubisoft has confirmed Far Cry New Dawn, its post-apocalyptic spin-off, will receive a 60 FPS update on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. However, deploying it means the former’s FPS Boost feature will be disabled.
The update should go live with the shooter’s addition to Game Pass on February 4th for cloud, PC, and Xbox consoles. Released in 2019 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, Far Cry New Dawn occurs in Hope County, Montana, which deals with the fallout from Far Cry 5.
Though much of the gameplay is similar to its predecessor, players can embark on Expeditions to other locations for resources. There are also new weapons, crafting, and mutated enemies. For more details, check out our review, where we gave it an eight out of ten.
Ubisoft hasn’t said much about the franchise’s future, but Far Cry 7 and extraction shooter spin-off “Maverick” have reportedly been in the works. They’re allegedly launching next year and moving away from the series’ traditional formula.
Well… this wasn’t how we planned to announce this. 😅
A 60 FPS update is coming to Far Cry New Dawn on Xbox Series X|S! 🎉 BUT to ensure a smooth roll out, we need to temporarily disable FPS Boost today at 4 PM PST (Feb 1, 0000 UTC). Thank you for your patience!— Ubisoft Support (@UbisoftSupport) January 31, 2025
Oh, and PS5 players, you’re getting the 60 FPS update too! 🎉 The FPS Boost change only applies to Xbox.
