Pragmata
Pragmata targets 60fps across PS5 and PS5 Pro. Base PS5 runs at 1080p internal resolution using FSR upscaling with ray-traced reflections, alongside a niche 1440p quality mode with reduced performance. PS5 Pro initially rendered at a lower 864p internal resolution, but patch 1.21 elevates it to 1080p, matching base PS5 while using PSSR for superior visual clarity and cleaner edge anti-aliasing. PS5 Pro also delivers the most consistent 60fps output on console, making it the definitive platform to play the game.

Known issues
Frame rate dips below 60fps occur in cutscenes with complex hair rendering and during heavy combat sequences.
Transferring a save file created on PS5 Pro to a standard PS5 forces the game to render at native 1440p instead of 1080p, resulting in significant framerate drops down to 42fps.
Standard PS5 uses FSR 1 spatial upscaling from 1080p, resulting in rough image quality across all modes.
Ray-traced reflections on PS5 Pro appear blurrier than on base PS5 due to lower internal render resolution (864p).
