Valorant
Valorant on PlayStation 5 offers two modes, and the choice is easy for a tactical shooter: Quality runs at 4K and 60fps, while Performance targets up to 120fps at a reduced resolution and requires 120Hz output enabled in the console settings. Performance is what the game is designed around - the extra frames translate directly into cleaner tracking and lower input latency. There is no PS4 version and no PS5 Pro patch, so Pro owners run the same two modes.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
