A Plague Tale: Innocence
A Plague Tale: Innocence upgrades performance to 60fps on current-gen consoles, reconstructing a 4K image from a native 1440p base on PS5. While PS5 holds 60fps across most of the campaign, minor frame drops and screen-tearing occur in demanding scenes. Visual improvements include velocity-based motion blur, improved ambient occlusion, and higher-resolution shadow maps, though grass draw distance is somewhat reduced compared to Xbox One X.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
A Plague Tale: Innocence targets 60fps on PS5 at a reconstructed 4K display resolution from a native 1440p baseline. Visual quality is elevated by motion blur, upgraded shadow maps, and enhanced ambient occlusion, though grass density is reduced compared to last-gen releases and brief frame drops with tearing can occur.

Standard
PS4Runs at native 1080p resolution.
Known issues
Some scenes drop below 60fps, occasionally triggering visible screen-tearing.
In scenes heavy with foliage or dynamic lighting, base PS4 suffers screen-tearing and frame rate drops down to the mid-20s.
Scenes involving heavy transparency effects (such as fire) and massive rat swarms cause performance on PS5 to drop into the mid-20s in both 30 fps and 40 fps targets.
