Far Cry New Dawn — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
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.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
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.
