Given the incredible expectations that exist before the ever closer release of Final Fantasy XVI in June on PlayStation 5 (it looks like those of us who want to play it on PC will have to wait longer than desired), it is normal that we have our eyes on any information that comes to light in connection with the latter. But the ones I want to talk about here are far more relevant than average; even if it is true that they correspond to what one expects from the standards implicit in the industry today.

The thing is, from what the portal companions have collected Gematsuthe producer of Final Fantasy XVI has confirmed that the game will have two graphics modes on PlayStation 5. And, if you’ve been following the trend that’s been happening in the game since it was revealed on the Sony console, now you know what you can expect from these two. I leave you with all the details below:

The 2 graphic modes of Final Fantasy XVI on PS5

The good thing is that the game director revealed that there are two of them, but the bad thing is that he hasn’t revealed the technical specifications of the latter yet. However, and speculating that they might be very similar to previous Square Enix releases, the thing would be like this:

  • performance mode: in this mode, the priority is for the game to reach 4K resolution at the cost of sacrificing a few Frames per second 1️⃣
  • FPS mode: in this mode, the priority is that the game runs at 60 fixed FPS at the cost of sacrificing a bit of resolution 2️⃣

Which of the 2 should I choose?

The downside is that it’s a matter of taste, but there are two rules that I’m always before choosing which graphics mode I start playing a specific title on PlayStation 5. I leave you with the same ones below:

  • If I prefer the game to look more impressive on screen and more defined, I will choose performance mode 1️⃣
  • If I prefer the game to be smoother and keep it from jerking, I’ll choose FPS 2 mode ️⃣

Eventually, I can only remind you that Final Fantasy XVI will be released on June 22, 2023 on PlayStation 5.
