Asobo Studio and Focus Home Interactive have officially announced that performance options have come to A Plague Tale: Requiem in their latest update. The game’s new update brings a Performance Mode that includes a 60 FPS option for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as additional options to optimize graphical performance on PC.
The 60 FPS option entails lower graphical settings: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X players can thus choose default Resolution Mode settings to fully enjoy the graphical excellence or the Performance Mode that scales the graphical resolution down, instead enhancing the gameplay sequences with even smoother action at 60 FPS. This new patch also adds options for PC players, allowing them to optimize the game’s graphical performance. All platforms, Xbox Series S included, will receive several bug fixes with the update. The game’s Cloud Version on Nintendo Switch will receive an update including these bug fixes next week.
This sequel title for A Plague Tale: Innocence brought an even wider range of praise from critics. All-in-all, A Plague Tale: Requiem has received 5 nominations at The Game Awards 2022, 5 BAFTA nominations, 4 Pégases 2023 Awards, The BiliBili 2022 Must-Play Award, and The Bilbao Indie Games Titanium Award. If this isn’t enough reason to play the series, then perhaps this new performance mode update will be enough reason to check it out!
A Plague Tale: Requiem is available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and in Cloud Version on Nintendo Switch. It will also be available on Game Pass for both Xbox and PC.
