Split Fiction
Split Fiction provides exceptional performance on PlayStation platforms, delivering a locked 60fps target on both standard PS5 and PS5 Pro. Rather than adopting heavy Unreal Engine 5 tech like Lumen or Nanite, developer Hazelight Studios uses baked global illumination, avoiding traversal stutters and visual pop-in entirely. Base PS5 renders at an internal resolution of 1800p, whereas PS5 Pro increases rendering to native 4K with TAA. The upgrade on PS5 Pro offers a modest image clarity boost, making both console versions excellent options.
