As we go in the next few weeks and months, we'll definitely start showing more on different platforms. 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. 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.

I test it on kits at the company and I can definitely see that as a great thing on the new generation, but that doesn't mean that the previous generation is abandoned in any way. We're really, really cautious about that, so we'll show more detail and more info very soon. But yeah, we'll care about all the platforms, both old gen, new gen and even PC, Stadia, Luna and all of that.

After skipping out on Primal and Far Cry 5, even though 6 doesn't look like a drastic shake up of the formula or anything, I might be ready to jump back into a Far Cry game. What they've shown of the tone so far seems solid, I like the setting, and Giancarlo Esposito rules.

I remembered that Ubisoft support page from a few weeks before the consoles launched and the whole "4K at 60fps / 4K and 60fps" debacle lol.


It's cross-gen.

Demon's Souls and Ratchet aren't and have 60fps modes. I do wonder what game people expect to be CPU bound and only able to hit 30fps on a 8 core / 16 thread Ryzen CPU lol. If a game is GPU bound then there will be a lower resolution / no RT mode in order to hit 60.

Far Cry 5 did change the formula, and Far Cry 6 seems to follow that direction.

In Far Cry 5 the missions mostly just exist in the open world. It isn't like Far Cry 3 and 4, where you go to a mission giver and load into a mission.

For instance there's a mission in Far Cry 5 to destroy a giant statue. You can just blow a chunk out of it and the mission will start. You start missions more like approaching Shrines in Breath of the Wild.

As expected, but still good to hear.

We know it'll have some ray tracing too... but unfortunately it is a AMD sponsored title, so no DLSS. :( Can't have the competition's cards looking even better than they already are.

Always need more 4K/60 games out there! If I get it, will probably be on PC though, so I hope they have good ultrawide support too.

And Far Cry 6's spectacular world does raise the question of exactly how wary developer Ubisoft Toronto is of setting expectations for those planning to play it on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

"What I can say, and I cannot go so much in details about specs or things like that, is that both on the previous generation and the new Xbox Series and PS5 generation, the game is running fine," lead gameplay designer David Grivel told VGC.

"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. I test it on kits at the company and I can definitely see that as a great thing on the new generation, but that doesn't mean that the previous generation is abandoned in any way. We're really, really cautious about that, so we'll show more detail and more info very soon."

They just say "Xbox Series" in the article, but I'm paraphrasing it to mean Series X, not S.

Great news. Been pretty tired of Far Cry since 3 but this looks fantastic. The setting really does it for me.

Good news! I'm really happy with the 4k and 60 fps games we are getting. I hope 60 fps is the standard for the entire generation.

Hmm, interesting. Won't be a day one buy for me, but I might buy it when the price drops massively after a couple of months. Game looks great, but it feels like more of the same.

Nice, the other Ubi open world games where 30 fps on X and 5, right?

This is a cross-gen game, so very much expected.

I'll be interested to see what performance options Ubisoft games offer when they're current-gen only-
