- Uses UE5 features like Lumen
- "A more ambitious ... but a more technically troubled game"
- Destructible environments, fast traversal across maps, making portals from one place on the map to another are praised
- Lumen is Software version
PS5 / SX
- 1440p with DRS to 810p.
- Both use Lumen GI but SSR for reflections and identical visual settings
Series S:
- Series S target 972p to 540p DRS with lower resolution textures, removed dynamic shadows, Lumen GI removed and replaced by screen space shading, SSR reflections also removed for cube maps
PC:
- Console Lumen GI setting is not equivalent to any PC pre-set, it is somewhere between High screen space GI and lower than High Lumen GI
- PC has Lumen reflections in combination with SSR, console only use SSR.
Performance:
- 60fps held 95% of the time on all consoles
- The other 5% is marred by traversal stutter or server side issues
- Dr. Strange's portals can cause drops to mid / low 50s on all consoles with Series S dropping a bit more than the other two
- PC version has likely shader compilation issue even though there's a shader caching process at booting the game
- Native 4K with max settings can cause the game to have drops to 40's on 4080 GPUs.
- Up-scaling techniques can remedy this but it still is prone to traversal stutter
Summary:
- More ambitious than Concord as it uses more UE5 features
- DF hopes the console hitches get fixed by the full release.
