Far Cry 6 — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
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.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Far Cry 6 delivers a clean presentation on PS5 running at dynamic 1728p-1872p while targeting 60fps. Visual settings reflect high PC equivalents, but hardware ray tracing is missing entirely. Frame-rate stability is generally strong, though hampered by camera panning issues, traversal stutter, and screen-tearing.
