A new generation of video games is beginning to offer multiple modes of play, with some prioritizing visuals and fidelity while others prioritize performance and framerate.
Thanks to the breakdown of graphics mode options from press start, God of War Ragnarok has been confirmed to support 120hz. In a practical sense, this means that it’s designed to run at an unlocked framerate that aims to stay above 60fps. In a statement to IGN, Sony said frame rates will vary based on gameplay elements and world locations.
The modes listed in the report are:
- Preferred Resolution: 4K/30 FPS Locked
- Preferred Performance: 60 FPS Locked
- Preferred Resolution (High Frame Rate On): 4K/40 FPS Lock (requires HDMI 2.1)
- Preferred performance (high frame rate on): 120hz and sync (requires HDMI 2.1)
As with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series, your TV must support HDMI 2.1 to use the 120hz option. Meanwhile, his 40 FPS option dedicated to HDMI 2.1 looks very similar to what we saw in The Last of Us Part I last month.
