Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S will see performance rates between 35-40 FPS, and the Steam version will differ based on the specifications of individual PCs. In Performance Mode, players will experience a 2160p output resolution alongside a 1728p rendering resolution on PS5 and Xbox Series X, with the Xbox Series S providing a 2160p output and a 1440p rendering resolution. Similar variable results will apply to the Steam version according to the player’s hardware.
