Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, and Primal Are Getting Free 60fps Upgrades This Week

Ubisoft is rolling out free 60fps performance patches for Far Cry 3: Classic Edition, Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal on current gen consoles.

Ubisoft is giving a trio of older series entries a major quality of life upgrade. Starting January 21, Far Cry 3: Classic Edition, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal are all receiving free 60fps patches on current generation consoles. The publisher originally hinted at the performance boosts last week through a series of social media teases before officially confirming the rollout for the three titles.

For players looking to revisit the Rook Islands, the neon drenched chaos of Blood Dragon, or the prehistoric survival sandbox of Primal, the jump to 60fps makes returning to these open worlds much smoother. While these are older entries in Ubisoft's massive franchise, the technical refresh offers a great excuse for both longtime fans and newer players to jump back in, especially with modern performance standards making 30fps caps a tough sell for contemporary gaming setups.

As hardware capabilities advance, bringing legacy titles up to modern frame rate standards has become an expected community courtesy rather than a luxury. These patches ensure that classic open world sandboxes remain playable and visually fluid alongside today's massive releases. You can read the original reporting over at Eurogamer.
