The update comes just a few weeks after Ubisoftunintentionally censored nudity inFar Cry 4following the launch of a new update. On April 3,Far Cry 4fans were left confused when the eleven-year-old title received a mysterious update that seemingly removed any nudity from the game. Shortly after the update was released, a Ubisoft representative took to Reddit to confirm that the update was a “mistake.” According to Ubisoft, content that was specifically developed for the Japanese version ofFar Cry 4was accidentally uploaded to the worldwide version of the game on Steam. The mistake has since been reversed and Ubisoft has confirmed there are no plans to censorFar Cry 4at this time.

The same feature is also being made readily available for Ubisoft’s newer titles, such asAssassin’s Creed Shadows, which launched on Steam with achievements on day one.
