Here are the settings changes for PS5/Pro & Xbox Series S & X

GRAPHICS [PLAYSTATION 5]
• Added a new setting "Unlock Frame Rate", enjoy!
• Added VRR and 120Hz display output support for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, and unlocked the frame rate limitations for Quality and Performance Mode setting
• Improved Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) quality
• Added HDR support
• Updated SDR to 10bit (from 8bit), which reduces visible color banding
• [PlayStation 5 Pro] Added PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) support. Using PSSR results in smoother edges, improved hair, and vegetation visual quality.

Remedy are awesome.
Time Cyperpunk 2077 got the same PS5 Pro treatment.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

I thought they was just going to talk about the patch today not release it that's awesome I'll definitely have to test it on the Pro this week

 

[Punished Miku]

I never finished this. Glad I waited I guess.

 

[lh032]

unlock framerate doesnt work for quality mode on ps5 pro? tried it still 30 fps.

 

[adamsapple]

Downloading again, will check out and post impressions from the unlocked Quality mode on Xbox shortly.

GG Remedy.

Works for me odd, maybe TV requirements needed?

 

[SonicVolcano]

Can't wait for the Max Payne remakes. With this engine magical things are bound to happen.

Do you have a 120hz TV and do you have that option ticked in PS5 system settings?

 

[poodaddy]

Question answered.

 

[saintjules]

Does this substantially alter the PC version at all or is it just consoles? I only started this recently, might restart if it's a big improvement.

According to their reddit page, this update was already released on PC. So this is reflecting consoles.

PC got a similar patch back in March.

 

[MMaRsu]

Except you dont get the dlc with that patch if u got it from Humble

Thanks guys, I'll edit my post.

Yeah, this is just bringing the console version in line with the PC version. But if I remember the PC version also got some kojima stuff in it? I don't see anything like that mentioned in these patch notes at least.

It's in the Xbox patch notes.

 

[Just_one]

well i never finish one of the dlcs and im finishing up hollow knight...guess i know what i´ll be playing after

 

[adamsapple]

It's in the Xbox patch notes.

I need glasses.

 

[lh032]

im using a 60hz VA monitor, you need 120hz to unlock frame rate for quality modE?

So this unlocked frame rate is like 40fps mode or something?

 

[adamsapple]

So this unlocked frame rate is like 40fps mode or something?

Going by the patch notes, it needs a 120hz display to unlock frame-rate.

Also, unlocked on 60hz would result in a shit ton of tearing or judder. They're probably relying on VRR + low frame-rate compensation from 120hz displays to make it feel playable.

understand, thanks for the explanation!

 

[The Pweep]

Game looks so much better on PS5 Pro now. Thanks Remedy

 

[Markio128]

Oh nice, I'll give it a go.

 

[adamsapple]

Alright, running the game on Series X.

The Unlocked Quality mode seems like it hovers around 40 (or maybe it might even be capped at 40). Feels very smooth, like a very well locked 40fps mode in one of those well-optimized games that have it.

Feels really good playing the game with this kind of smoothness and the expensive RT reflections it shipped with.

 

[PurePlatinum]

This is a phenomenal game...probably the best game Remedy has ever made...but I have no reason to return here. I've already got the platinum, I've done all the DLC. I've played it exhaustively.

Great for new players though. Really hope cyberpunk gets this treatment soon.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Really cool they're still patching this. Too bad it's a mid game with a man-face main character (who they actually kept as pretty Quantum Break). The cat ears in the screenshot above make it even funnier.

As a classic Remedy fan, this game was a big disappointment for me.

 

[emivita]

Is PSSR available for Performance mode?

 

[Jigsaah]

I know folks make fun of the protag in this game...and probably with good reason, but the game itself is phenomenal.

 

[Radical_3d]

YouTubers are fast nowadays.


Saved you a click: almost 60fps in graphic mode unlocked if you enable PSSR.

 

[TGO]

Using PSSR can slightly impact performance, so if you would rather have the original "look" of Control, you can disable PSSR in the settings

What does this even mean? How would performance effect the "look"
is this them saying PSSR has artifacts and you can disable it.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Please Remedy get this game over on Switch 2

 

[Skifi28]

I believe I've never finished one of the DLCs so it might be a good opportunity to revisit it.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Maybe?
This is how it always should be IMO though. Options are always better.

 

[Markio128]

Just tried it on the Pro and it seems to be running at 60fps in graphics mode with PSSR and unlocked framerate enabled. Decent.

 

[Radical_3d]

Well the game does run better without PSSR, but is not worth it IMO. The aliasing solution without it is a jag fest.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Time for another replay I guess ‍

 

[genesisblock]

They need to patch The Jukebox missions. Ridiculously frustrating.

 

[Kerotan]

Already platinumed this so won't be playing but I loaded up and it runs a dream on the ps5 pro. These unlocked modes are great because it'll be getting a Day 1 ps6 upgrade as a result.

But it's absolutely fine now with VRR.

 

[FUBARx89]

Pretty much. More games should offer between PSSR & another upscaler.

After a few switches back and forth (I'm in Fra Mauro AWE) and the scaffolding in the main area looks like its warbling about. Whereas with it off it looks like it flickers.

Only just sat down to play it. Fidelity mode feels very nice. Looks good. But haven't got into any big fights yet.

emivita Yes. PSSR toggle on both performance and fidelity modes. There is a performance hit going by my TV's framerate counter using PSSR.

They are not talking about the look. Seems PSSR costs more fps.

 

[BiohazardX95]

Graphics mode looks much much better on ps5 pro than what it was before the patch, it also runs great with pssr enabled and unlocked framerate.

 

[mckmas8808]

Now DF needs to do a video on this. STAT!

 

[Skifi28]

I imagine they will, it's one of their most covered games for benchmarking. They're not missing a chance to compare unlocked modes to PC GPUs.

 

[Zathalus]

Tom is doing a video on it. Should be out this week.

 

[BigLee74]

Didn't really like control, was ok for a bit then got too samey.

Quantum Break was better, Max Payne was better.

 

[Aressa]

Why "enjoy" only for unlock framerate and not the rest of the patch?
