Somehow Ubisoft managed to almost sneak this out without me noticing, but the first PC patch for Far Cry 5 has arrived. While Far Cry 5 ran brilliantly in our benchmark tests, I know a few folks have struggled a little with uneven performance. Far Cry 5 Title Update 4 should help tackle PC performance, including crashes, general stability issues, and a few minor problems with the online co-op. It's not clear how we've got to Update 4 already, but rest assured this is the first patch released for Far Cry 5 since its launch.
I suspect it’s performance and stability that’s going to prove the most beneficial for those struggling to run Far Cry 5 as well as they’d hope. From my time with it, I haven’t actually experienced any crashes of game breaking bugs, but a lot of this will come down to a specific PC hardware a player has.
This patch is available right if you’re playing Far Cry 5 through Steam or Uplay, while the console patch should be ready for this Monday, April 9th.
