Graphics and video settings are pretty limited on both the PS5 and Xbox. The game also bundles a Ray Tracing and Performance mode. Sticking to the latter is recommended because 60 FPS feels quite smooth in the first-person shooter. The visual differences, as per our recordings, are almost non-existent. Hence, the best settings combination is as follows:
