Assassin’s Creed Shadows Graphical Modes Detailed for PS5 and PS5 Pro
[summaraize]
We are just two weeks away from the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and to help build hype, Ubisoft has released a brand-new 20-minute gameplay video showcasing both of the game’s protagonists.
But what may be more exciting for console players is that we finally know the graphical options for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, as modes have been detailed for the standard PS5 and PS5 Pro models.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Graphical ModesFeatures Ray Tracing on All PS5 Models, With PS5 Pro Getting Extended Features
I have to say, the game is looking better and better with every gameplay video released. Luckily, we don’t have long to wait as the release is just in a few short weeks.
Elsewhere, over on the PlayStation Blog, Ubisoft has also detailed the graphical modes for Assassin’s Creed Shadows for both PS5 and PS5 Pro. They are as follows:
Ray Tracing Models
- Selective Ray Tracing: Uses compute global illumination for diffuse lighting in the Hideout portion of the game
- Standard Ray Tracing: Uses compute global illumination for diffuse lighting throughout the game world
- Extended Ray Tracing: Full support of ray tracing to compute global illumination for diffuse lighting and reflective surfaces throughout the entire game world
PS5 (Standard) Modes
- PS5 – Performance Mode
- 2160p upscaled, 60 FPS, Selective* Ray Tracing
- PS5 – Fidelity Mode
- 2160p upscaled, 30 FPS, Standard** Ray Tracing
- PS5 – Balanced Mode (requires 120/240hz display and HDMI 2.1)
- 2160p upscaled, 40 FPS, Standard Ray Tracing
PS5 Pro Modes
- PS5 Pro – Performance Mode
- 2160p upscaled, 60 FPS, Standard Ray Tracing
- PS5 Pro – Fidelity Mode
- 2160p upscaled, 30 FPS, Extended*** Ray Tracing
- PS5 Pro – Balanced Mode (requires 120/240hz display and HDMI 2.1)
- 2160p upscaled, 40 FPS, Extended Ray Tracing
Pretty surprising to see ray tracing available on not only both console models but also throughout every available mode. Hopefully it doesn’t have a big impact on the game’s performance, as ray tracing can be pretty demanding, even if its not the full version of it in the other modes.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows arrives March 20 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
