The developers at Ubisoft have announced a new update released to Far Cry 5. While the latest update is focused on improving on the current features of the game, the team also delivered on a few new additions that players have been requesting. These new features focus on the ability for players to be able to recustomize certain aspects of their their character after leaving the initial creation page. While the game does not offer extensive customization options to your in-game avatar, gamers will now be able to go back in and redefine the looks they have set for the hero of Hope County.

Subtitles will now be turned on by default, allowing players to be able to read what is being said in the game without going to find the option.
