Visual Options
PC players can enable AMD FSR 2.2 or Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution, adjust texture quality, shadows, reflections, and ambient occlusion, and choose a frame‑rate cap or VSync.
The game supports true 4K resolution and ultra‑wide monitors (21:9 and 32:9), allowing the environments to be viewed in high detail.

- Activate DualSense features if using a compatible controller for tactile feedback.
