As is the custom, on PS5 and Xbox Series, soothing our pupils tired by the smoothness of the 60 FPS implies making sacrifices in terms of graphics, as confirmed by the official press release: “The 60 FPS option implies less detailed graphics. PS5 and Xbox Series X players can therefore choose either Resolution mode to enjoy the exceptional visual rendering ofA Plague Tale: Requiem ; either the Performance mode which reduces the graphic quality but improves the fluidity of the game thanks to the 60 FPS“. The aforementioned concessions are not specified by Focus and Asobo. Where the French have refused to compromise is on the size of the patch: 40.545 GB is about to beat your Internet line, the price of the fluidity, we must believe.
