Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Far Cry 5 Xbox Series S upgrade. It features HDR support with a 1080p resolution at 60fp as a default option with greatly improved clarity.

It used to feature the usage of FPS Boost. In that case the resolution would have dropped to sub 1080p at 60fps. This feature is no longer needed however as they did do the proper next gen aware update noted prior. It should smoothly hit these targets with the extra power that is present. It is worth nothing that most games do receive a standard 16x anisotropic filtering through Xbox Backwards Compatibility.

Those are the key details that are present. This game is not Optimized on the platform, meaning it wasn’t specifically adjusted for the platform and instead received these upgrades through either inheriting it from the previous generation or automatically. A video showcasing this is found below, alongside a photo representing the game.

Description/Synopsis
The fifth main entry within the Far Cry franchise has you going about dealing with this crazed cult family in the heartland of America. This family has been causing problems and you’re basically the last free member of your squad that’s been tasked with putting an end to this reign.

You do so by working to liberate the local people that are within the county whether that’s on foot or in vehicle and even by plane. Enjoy a plethora of side activities extra DLC expansions and of course some fun multiplayer elements within the Arcade that strangely includes all of GoldenEye having been remade there which is rather fascinating for sure.

Hopefully you found these details helpful in regards to understanding how this game is running on the platform. Whether that’s in the boosted resolution (visual fidelity) that’s provided in the filtering, or just generally the extra performance that assists with the Far Cry 5 frame rate to keep it running smoothly.

Certainly great to see what these games can provide on the latest console platform that features full backwards compatible support and will see many new titles release over its lifespan. It should be exciting to see what’s to come for the consoles and how much gaming will change over this generation.
