Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Shadow of the Tomb Raider delivers strong visual quality across PlayStation platforms with improved temporal anti-aliasing, foliage translucency, and lighting. The standard PS4 operates at a native 1080p and maintains a consistent 30fps target better than Xbox One. On PS4 Pro, users get options for a High Resolution mode running at 1872p 30fps or a High Frame-Rate mode targeting 1080p 60fps. The High Resolution mode is the recommended choice on PS4 Pro due to performance drops and uneven frame-times in the 60fps mode.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition runs on PS5 via backward compatibility, successfully delivering the locked 60fps performance that base PS4 hardware could not sustain.
