While Far Cry Primal has been out for the consoles for a little while now, it just got its release on PC. Shortly after that launch, Ubisoft announced the game was getting a new patch that is designed to bring more stability and better performance to the game. This new patch has been titled the Day 1 patch and covers a rather broad array of matters in the game.
The changelog for the Far Cry Primal patch notes some of the changes include many multi-GPU configuration fixes.
