Far Cry 4 has Steam achievements ten years after its release. Ubisoft continues to update its games on Valve’s platform. Considered one of the series’ best, Far Cry 4 was released on November 18, 2014. We now all have a new reason to go back and enjoy it again.

Far Cry 4, released in 2014, has now finally received Steam achievements in 2025, giving fans a reason to go back and play it.

The update may surprise many, but Ubisoft has been patching its older games on Valve’s platform. The Far Cry 4 update follows the same that Far Cry 5 and Far Cry 6 received in December.

What Does the Update Include?

Ubisoft is continuing its commitment to support its games on Steam, with the latest update coming to Far Cry 4. In a recent community post, Ubisoft revealed Steam Achievements are now live, telling players to “Climb high, fight hard, and claim the recognition you deserve.”

For completionists, this update brings a fresh reason to dive back into Kyrat. For others, it’s just one more reason you should play 2014’s Global Game Awards Best Shooter of the Year.

Why Now?

Ubisoft announced in September that all future games will come to Steam from day one after its shares plummeted through 2014. With its shift in strategy, Ubisoft has been dropping updates on older games on Steam, adding various features such as Steam achievements.

Updates like this can bring the game back into the spotlight, fostering goodwill within the gaming community and celebrating iconic franchises while boosting sales and increasing player retention on future releases. Far Cry 3 will be the next game to receive Steam achievements, while the next Ubisoft game is Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set for March 20.

Conclusion

Ubisoft’s decision to add achievements to Far Cry 4 a decade after launch has reignited interest in the game. Are you planning to go back to it? Are you wanting to try it for the first time now? Share your thoughts below.
