Make Sure To Turn Off Auto Sheathe
Note that Auto Sheathe is turned on by default. When left on, it is possible that you may unintentionally sheathe your weapon while in combat. It's best to always have this setting turned off.
Set Subtitles And Voice Settings To Your Preferred Size
Subtitles and voice settings do not impact greatly impact gameplay, so feel free to set them to the size you prefer. If you are playing on a TV in your living room, we recommend setting the subtitle size to a larger setting.
Camera Sensitivity According To Your Preference
In the 'Camera' settings, you can adjust the standard camera sensitivity and for specific actions like aiming. Try out different settings to find what works best for you.
Turn on Arachnophobia Mode if you don't like spiders.
If you turn on Arachnophobia Mode, spiders and other similar creatures will be replaced to look like the monsters in the video above. If you're not comfortable with spiders, its best to turn this setting on.
For the PC version, change the settings while check the VRAM usage
If you're using the PC version, set the image quality to high, then check the amount of VRAM being used. The closer the VRAM usage is to its limit, the more demanding the processing will be. It's highly recommended to not cap VRAM usage and lower the quality of textures like terrain and grass if necessary.
Turn on Frame Generation
| Upscaling | AMD FSR3 ※If you meet the specification requirements use DLSS |
|---|---|
| Frame Generation | ON |
FSR is recommended for upscaling. Frame generation can be enabled even if your RTX is not in the 40-series, making it easier to achieve 60 FPS or higher, even with a slight reduction in quality.
Change PS5 Graphic Settings According To Your Preference
※Changes in image quality will be more noticeable when moving.
| ① | 【Prioritize Resolution】 ・Settings that prioritize resolution ・Enemy frame rates to low ┗Enemy movement is slightly less smooth |
|---|---|
| ② | 【Prioritize Frame Rate】 ・Settings that prioritize frame rates ・Movement is much smoother when frame rate is prioritized ┗Image quality becomes rough and less detailed |
When playing the game with the Prioritize Resolution settings, the game delivers better visuals and improved image quality. While, the Prioritize Frame Rate setting offers a smoother gameplay experience, though the image quality may appear rougher. Ultimately, it comes down to your personal preference: whether you care more about image quality or smoother frame rates.
