Hellblade II Performance Mode detailed by Developer

Interesting to hear!

Hellblade II

In anticipation of the August 12th update to Hellblade II that includes a PS5 release, developer Ninja Theory has outlined how they were able to achieve 60 Frames Per Second on console.

Technical Director Gavin Costello is clear that no features have been removed in the performance mode. 60 FPS has been achieved via further optimisations to the game, some technical settings that change depending on what mode is selected (including resolution) and use of some existing CPU headroom available from the locked 30 FPS mode the game was originally designed for.

For some more technical info on how this works, check out the embedded video below.

The Hellblade II Enhanced edition (or update for existing owners) is coming August 12th and features include:

  • 60 FPS Performance Mode
  • Updated Photo Mode
  • Dark Rot Challenge Mode
  • Developer Commentary Mode
  • PS5 Release
