Assassin's Creed Mirage, developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, offers a polished experience on all current-gen consoles, including the Series S. The game features two modes - a 30fps quality mode and a 60fps mode - with minor visual differences between consoles. While the character models fall short, the world design of Mirage is superb. The game runs smoothly at 30fps on all consoles, but there are occasional frame drops and screen tearing at 60fps. Overall, Mirage delivers a solid experience, but the series' technology still feels rooted in the cross-gen period.
Ubisoft has released an update for Far Cry 5 that unlocks the full potential of the old code on current-gen consoles by unlocking the frame-rate and allowing the game to reach 60 frames per second. The update is essentially a patch, with limited impact on the game experience beyond the performance enhancement. The game's visuals have been altered in some unexpected ways as well, with the PS5 and Series X versions looking very similar in terms of image quality. The update puts the game roughly on par with most recent cross-gen games, delivering the high resolutions and 60fps updates that typify cross-gen efforts at the moment.

Far Cry 5 came out in 2018 and followed the story of a deputy sent to arrest Joseph Seed, a cult leader in Montana.
