Visuals of Far Cry 6 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC

Recently, popular gaming YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits tested Far Cry 6 on multiple platforms. Visually, the game plays with a dynamic resolution of 2160p and 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. With the Series S, the game plays with a dynamic resolution of 1440p and 60 FPS. Far Cry 6 performs with an average resolution of around 1800p. However, the Series X provides a bit more resolution in most scenario compared to the PlayStation 5. The PC version plays the best as players can easily play with 2160p resolution with an Nvidia RTX 3080, thanks to AMD’s FSR Quality Mode.

While the Xbox console provides better resolution, the next generation Sony console provides improved reflections. Additionally, PC has DXR reflections which improves the quantity and quality of shadows in the game. However, players might face some glitches with some assets. Along with that, PS5, Xbox Series X and PC players can also download a 26 GB texture pack as well, which looks much better than the normal ones. The PC variant also has the highest draw distance. While the PS5 and Xbox Series X has similar draw distances, the Series S version has slightly less.

Performance of the game on various platforms

The game loads quite quickly on all the platforms. However, the PlayStation 5 version does it in half a second less than Xbox Series X|S consoles. Other than that, the performance of the game is immaculate on all the consoles and PC. Players can easily expect to see 60 FPS on all situations, with little to no frame drops. So, players can definitely applaud the developers at Ubisoft Toronto for their job in optimizing the title.

In the end, it seems like the developers have hit it out of the park performance wise. The visuals might suffer hitches sometimes with the texture pack. But, it rarely happens, and in most scenarios, players will experience high resolution gameplay on Far Cry 6.
