Far Cry 6
Far Cry 6 targets 60fps on PlayStation 5 with a dynamic resolution operating between 1728p and 1872p. Graphics quality broadly mirrors PC high settings, though hardware ray tracing is exclusive to PC and absent on console platforms. While 60fps is largely sustained during gameplay, performance is affected by camera panning stutter, 30fps cutscenes with uneven animation frame-pacing, and inherent Dunia engine traversal stutter accompanied by screen-tearing.
