Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro delivers a streamlined experience focused entirely on 60fps gameplay with ray-traced global illumination. Neither console offers a graphics mode toggle or 30fps option. Base PS5 operates within a dynamic resolution range of 1200p to 1800p, maintaining 60fps throughout standard gameplay with rare dips to the 40s during heavy alpha effects. PS5 Pro enhances image clarity with a higher 1440p to 4K dynamic range and improved volumetrics, handling heavy scenes better with drops only into the 50s. Both systems share minor caveats, including autosave hitches and visible shadow cascade step-ups.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
PS5 Pro offers the crispest image output among consoles, leveraging its larger GPU to hit up to native 4K with dynamic resolution down to 1440p. It maintains 60fps more effectively during heavy alpha effects where base PS5 dips lower, though it shares identical autosave hitches and shadow filtering issues.
Higher dynamic rendering resolution range (1440p to 4K) and slightly improved volumetric lighting settings.
Default Mode
PS5 ProHigher pixel density up to native 4K with improved volumetric setting reducing aliasing along light shafts.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Base PS5 delivers a solid 60fps experience in general gameplay with active ray-traced global illumination. Image quality uses a dynamic 1200p to 1800p resolution cleaned up with id Tech's TAA. Minor framerate drops occur during autosaves, cutscene camera cuts, and rare alpha-heavy action scenes where performance can drop into the 40s.
Default Mode
PS5Uses id Tech's TAA method with dynamic resolution scaling between 1200p and 1800p.
PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
PS5 Pro provides a noticeably sharper presentation thanks to a higher dynamic resolution scale (1440p-4K) and slightly improved volumetric quality, alongside better framerate stability in rare heavy scenes. However, settings, RTGI quality, and 60fps target remain functionally identical to the standard PS5.

Known issues
In-engine cinematics suffer brief strings of dropped frames on camera cuts, likely due to physics settlement buffers.
Shadow maps abruptly update detail levels in meter-length increments as the player approaches them.
Triggering world autosave thresholds causes brief frametime spikes and noticeable hitching, particularly in larger areas like Vatican City.
