It’s kind of the hot topic of the moment, since Gotham Knights had the “presumptuousness” of only offering 30 fps on PS5 and Xbox Series. Do not panic, it will not be the same on the PlayStation exclusive this end of the year, since GoW Ragnarok has the right to many graphic modes.
With the various previews of yesterday on God of War Ragnarok, the graphic modes to which you will be entitled when launching the game on PlayStation 5 have been revealed. And Santa Monica has done it big, with all the necessary comfort from day one, by supporting the HDMI 2.1 standard. Let’s see together which graphics modes the game will have on November 9 next.
4 graphics modes on PS5
We draw your attention to the third graphics mode, requiring a screen capable of accepting the HDMI 2.1 standard. This 4k mode at 40 fps is the best possible compromise between resolution and fluid gaming experience: on Horizon Forbidden West and the last Ratchet & Clank, it was (in our opinion) the best way to enjoy these games.
- Promote resolution: 4k at 30fps
- Promote performance: 60 fps with dynamic resolution
- Favor resolution + high frequencies (HDMI 2.1): 4k at 40fps
- Promote performance + high frequencies: Target 120 fps
Console gamers get used to 60 fps
The choice of graphics modes has become an option on the vast majority of AAA games since the previous mid-gen (PS4 Pro, Xbox One X). 30fps gaming has long been the norm on consoles, but things have moved on and many have “seen the light”, with the perceptible visual comfort that a higher framerate brings. A fluidity that changes so many things, that it is difficult to do without it afterwards, which is why many players are grumbling about Gotham Knights in recent days.
Santa Monica Studios said it: in GoW Ragnarok, players will be able to explore the 9 worlds of Norse mythology. In this new guide, we’ll take stock of where each Kingdom fits in, so you’re ready for the PlayStation exclusive’s release.
