Lies of P

Performance overview

Lies of P on PS5 provides three distinct graphics options: Quality (30fps), Balanced (40fps via 120Hz container), and Performance (60fps). While Quality mode delivers a pristine native 4K image, both the 30fps and 40fps modes suffer from erratic frame-pacing. Performance mode scales internal resolution down to 1512p-1800p and pares back some shading and fog effects, but locked 60fps gameplay delivers crucial input responsiveness for timing parries and dodges.

Editorial summary

Lies of P performs exceptionally well on PS5, with Performance Mode locking to 60fps at dynamic 1512p-1800p resolutions. Quality modes offer native 4K visuals or dynamic 1872p-4K at 40fps, but both are marred by noticeable frame-pacing stutter. Performance Mode is the strongly recommended configuration.
