Far Cry New Dawn

Performance overview

Far Cry New Dawn is a 2019 PS4-generation title that never received a next-generation version: on PS5 it simply runs the PS4 Pro build through backward compatibility. That means a dynamic resolution reaching 1620p at a 30fps target, the same rendering configuration as PS4 Pro, with the current-gen machine's only real contribution being a rock-solid lock on that 30fps ceiling. Base PS4 runs a dynamic 1080p, also at 30fps. There is no 60fps option anywhere on PlayStation, no ray tracing, and no PS5 Pro patch - PSSR only applies to titles specifically updated for that console.

Editorial summary

Backward compatibility locks the 30fps target and speeds up loading, but there is no 60fps option at all.

No next-gen version: PS5 runs the PS4 Pro build via backward compatibility at the same dynamic 1620p, with a more consistent 30fps lock.
