Tales of Arise — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Tales of Arise offers Performance and Graphics modes on PS5. On standard PS5 hardware, the Graphics mode suffers from inconsistent performance with an unlocked frame rate, making Performance mode the recommended choice for gameplay. On PS5 Pro, raw hardware performance lifts the unlocked Graphics mode into the VRR window, providing noticeably improved image quality along with smoother frame rates without requiring an official PS5 Pro patch.
