Performance-Enhancing Options

The PC version launches with full support for modern upscaling and frame generation technologies:

  • NVIDIA DLSS 4
  • AMD FSR 4
  • Intel XeSS 2

All of these support both upscaling and frame generation, allowing players to boost performance significantly.

A major highlight is Pico upscaling, developed for the Decima engine. Previously used on PS5, this technology now comes to PC and works across all GPUs, offering additional flexibility when optimizing performance.
