A Plague Tale: Requiem
A Plague Tale: Requiem on PS5 provides two main graphical profiles following update 1.5. Resolution Mode targets 1440p output at 30fps on 60Hz screens or 40fps on 120Hz displays, preserving high-quality textures, foliage, and shadow details. The added Performance Mode drops output resolution to native 1080p and reduces visual density, while metering rat and NPC animations to 30fps to hold a virtually locked 60fps during gameplay. Connecting a 120Hz display further unlocks Performance Mode between 70fps and 100fps. The 60fps Performance Mode is highly recommended for its dramatic improvement in camera control and combat fluidness.
