Here are the specific details in regards to the improvements that have been made for the Far Cry 5 Xbox Series X upgrade. It features HDR support with a native 4k resolution at 60fp as a default option.

It used to feature the usage of FPS Boost. In that case the resolution would have dropped to 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
This is the fifth main entry within the Far Cry series that has your protagonist having to deal with this rather dangerous cult like family that has propped up in the heart of America. There’s a rebellion brewing and you’re out there to help liberate the fine folks in the region.

This narrative has you dealing with various underlings within the family and ultimately going against the head of it all. This story is also continued with New Dawn that directly continues the events of this story, but in a time far away. It’s an interesting scenario and definitely a different one.

It features a ton of activities to take part in, alongside that classic over the top action style that’s expected out of this franchise. You’ll be battling folks across a variety of unique locations whether that’s on foot, in vehicles driving about. Do that aspect firmly on the ground, through rivers or also in the air. It’ll take a lot of weapons, smart moves and of course craziness to get this mission complete. Good luck!

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.
