Atomic Heart
Atomic Heart follows the standard console template on PlayStation 5: a Quality mode running at dynamic 4K and 30fps, and a Performance mode that drops to a dynamic resolution around QHD to hold 60fps. Given how fast and reflex-heavy the combat is, Performance is the mode to pick, and the loss in sharpness is modest. The PS4 version is a single 30fps, 1080p presentation with clearly reduced effects, foliage and draw distance. There is no PS5 Pro patch, so Pro owners run the PS5 modes as they are.
