The PC version will include graphics presets ranging from Low to Very High, as well as a Portable preset designed for handheld gaming devices. Developers also confirmed support at launch for NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4 and Intel XESS 2, with both upscaling and frame generation options available. For the first time on PC, the title will feature Pico, described as a “Progressive Image Compositor” developed by Guerrilla for the Decima engine and previously used on the PlayStation 5 edition.
The game will support ultrawide aspect ratios, including 21:9 for cutscenes and up to 32:9 during gameplay. Players using standard 16:9 monitors will also be able to enable wider aspect ratios through display settings.
