Always cool when a last-gen game gets a fresh coat of paint—60fps in Kyrat is long overdue Makes me wonder which forgotten Ubisoft open-world might get the upgrade treatment next. (Keeps it casual, acknowledges the update’s significance, and playfully speculates on future possibilities without echoing the existing comments.)

Nice to see older gems like Far Cry 4 getting some love on modern hardware—60fps makes Kyrat feel even more alive. Wonder if this means Ubisoft is testing the waters for a remaster or just keeping the hype warm for the next Far Cry
