Other than that, The First Descendant has partnered up with PlayStation to reveal exclusive features that can only be experienced on the PS5. Continue reading to find out about these features and how to sign up for the Open Beta, and watch the next-gen trailer below showcasing some of the features exclusive to PlayStation 5.

4K Resolution:

The First Descendant PS5 version supports 4K resolution and offers in-game performance and fidelity support. It also includes an HDR mode through the fidelity mode.

Meanwhile, the performance mode of up to 60 fps allows smooth gameplay, fast-paced combat, and VRR (variable refresh rates).

Adaptive Triggers

In The First Descendant, each weapon class serves a different purpose, and we reflected the characteristics of each weapon in the adaptive triggers. To make every weapon class feel unique, we set different pressure and intensity values for each of our 11 weapon classes, depending on their usage.

For instance, a light handgun’s adaptive triggers will be lighter than a heavy launcher or a sniper rifle with heavier trigger pressures, each providing a unique experience. Through the adaptive triggers, our Dev team created a much more immersive experience when using weapons.

Haptic Feedback

In addition to the vibrations, it has been designed so that the haptic feedback would work in tandem with your character controls and the environment. Bringing the game to life, haptic feedback can be found throughout the game, such as the direction a boss appears and walks towards, the direction in which you’re attacked when you use a gun, and more.

3D Audio

PlayStation’s 3D Audio does a great job of bringing the world to life. It’s hard to explain the tension you feel when you encounter the sound of a missile passing by a character in 3D Audio during a battle against a mighty giant boss.
