Now that Ubisoft has enhanced a handful of Far Cry games on PS5, making them run at 60 frames-per-second, it is now reportedly turning its attention back to the Assassin's Creed franchise.
Insider Gaming leaker Tom Henderson shared on the outlet's weekly podcast that he believes the publisher will give old Assassin's Creed titles similar treatment. It was said on yesterday's episode of the podcast that Assassin's Creed Unity could be first.
Despite the comments from the Insider Gaming lead, Ubisoft has actually already updated a few older Assassin's Creed games with 60FPS support on PS5. Assassin's Creed Origins received a patch in 2022, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate got the same in 2024.
If the publisher provides 60FPS patches to even older Assassin's Creed games, though, then The Ezio Collection, III Remastered, Rogue Remastered, and the aforementioned Unity could be part of Ubisoft's plans. Of course, there are strong rumours that Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is being handled separately with a full remake.
Earlier this week, Ubisoft provided Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal with 60FPS support on PS5.
Do these kinds of updates to older titles make you return to them for another playthrough? Tell us in the comments below.

What About the Original Assassins Creed will that one get updated to 😏
@Areus Its actually 60fps on Series consoles.
Unity is all want at 60fps as well as a bump in res as 900p is too low for a 4K screen.
If I'm not mistaken it's still 60 fps on Playstation if you use the disc version and don't update the game.
Oh, sick. Gives me a reason to go back for the DLC trophies
Maybe it's finally time to make Unity compatible with sleep mode on PS? It bothers me more than fps.
I love a good photomode. Stick that in please, ubi. Or are you laying off all the photomode devs? Of all the Assassin's Creed games unity would be the best for photomode
GHOST RECON WILDLANDS for god's sake
Id prefer a native ps5 upgrade but its still nice to see
Literally just reinstalled Unity as well. I just wish it would get a graphics update for PS5 due to the crowd quality popping in and out.
@DennisReynolds I was wondering why the resolution looked off when playing it. Doesn't seem like it'll be addressed though which is a bit of a shame.
I'd love a patch for GR Wildlands. Taking out sicarios even smoother than usual.
I payed Unity recently. Kind of pointless to go through all the trouble of updating the game when the suspension of disbelief is constantly being destroyed by brain dead NPCs popping in ten feet in front of you. Just like when Cyberpunk released, I would take 2/3s the set dressing NPCs for NPCs with a purpose.
...or just give me a post-apocalyptic mode where I can pretend that everyone is dead. Le sighhhh
Pretty cool of Ubi to do these 60fps updates, wish more developers would do the same.
Unity is so good going back to it after it’s been fixed. I wish I stuck with it back in the day because in some ways it’s the pinnacle of the series. In others it absolutely is not 😂
The Ezio Collection could use a 60fps patch. I played through some of it, but playing games at 30fps on PS5 Pro doesn't click with me.
I could always hook up the PS4 Pro or remote play it to my Steam Deck OLED (used to playing games at 30fps on those platforms), but I'd prefer the better performance.
Am I the only one who finds it interesting that this sudden flurry of 60fps upgrades comes at a time when Ubisoft’s stock is in the toilet and projects are being canceled left and right?
Hmm…
If Unity gets a 60fps patch AND a resolution bump, I’ll be happy 😃
@dskatter yes you are. Ubisoft have been updating their games for a few years now when they can.
@Nepp67 On a 1080p screen it doesn't look that bad but on a 4K screen the 900p and 30fps really do bring it down. Shame because visually its one of the best looking games in the series. The gorgeous baked in lighting, use of colour and insane crowds really do make it stand out and hold its own even against modern entries.
Very much appreciated. Really appreciate Ubisoft doing this for some of their legacy titles. Unity is amazing I'd absolutely play that again at 60fps.
@dskatter They have been doing this since the start of the gen. Odyssey got a 60fps patch within the first year i think. Origins and Far Cry 5 also got one a few years back. Its been slow and drip fed but Ubi have been pretty consistent with it.
@Northern_munkey Three Far Cry games getting updated all at once with more AC games coming soon(TM) is unprecedented, though. They’ve been doing them one at a time in dribs and drabs.
If all three FC games used the same engine though, it could make sense.
That said, I’m glad to see it whatever the reason. These games are so much better than recent Ubi fare.
Unity needs it. It was supposed to be 1080p 60fps but ended up 900p 20fps.
