Valorant — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
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.
