Alan Wake 2 is almost here \u2013 it hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC on Friday, October 27. Its release this week comes after developer Remedy Entertainment delayed the game 10 days earlier this summer. While there are plenty of visual options for players playing on PC \u2013 check out Alan Wake 2’s PC spec requirements here \u2013 there are only two graphics modes for those picking it up on PS5 and Xbox Series X (and just one on Xbox Series S). But first, be sure to read\u00a0Game Informer’s <\/em>Alan Wake 2 review.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Below, we’ll dive into the two graphics modes for Alan Wake 2 on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and then a handful of\u00a0Game Informer\u00a0<\/em>editors playing the game will share the mode they’ve opted to experience Remedy’s latest in.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier this month, we dived into the best graphics modes for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from developer Insomniac Games and there was a clear winner there. However, Alan Wake 2 features less modes to take advantage of on consoles \u2013 which is okay \u2013 so choosing the best mode for you will ultimately be up to personal taste (like in most games).\u00a0<\/p>\n Before breaking down each mode, it’s worth mentioning that Remedy developed Alan Wake 2 from the ground up as a 30 FPS experience, as we learned last month from the studio’s communication director, Thomas Puha.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019m glad to say that Alan Wake 2 will have a Performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game has been built from the beginning as a 30fps experience focusing on visuals and ambiance, but somehow we have managed to include a solid Performance mode. We\u2019ll talk details later.<\/p>\n But as you can see in the tweet above, Remedy also added a seemingly last-minute Performance Mode to the game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here’s what we’ve discovered playing some of the game using both the Quality mode and the Performance mode<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n Both of these modes are available on PS5 and Xbox Series X, but if you’re playing on Xbox Series S, the output\u00a0resolution is 1440p.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are live-action video components to Alan Wake 2, something Remedy utilized with its Xbox-exclusive Quantum Break, and those seem to be targeting the standard cinematic 24 FPS (although admittedly, it could very well be 30 FPS; the point being the frames will be less than 60 FPS you might be experiencing in Performance mode).\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I do want to note that at the end of the day, you should just use the visual settings and graphics modes you prefer \u2013 there is no right or wrong answer, but I spend a lot of time (too<\/em> much time) tinkering with these kinds of settings and technologies and wanted to hopefully help guide you toward a mode that matches your preferences. If you have any questions or suggestions, drop them in the comments below!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alan Wake 2 hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC on October 27.\u00a0<\/p>\n For more about the game, read\u00a0Game Informer’s\u00a0<\/em>hands-on with a Saga Anderson section of Alan Wake 2\u00a0and then read\u00a0what we thought about playing as Alan Wake. After that, watch this\u00a0Saga Anderson-focused Alan Wake 2 NGT,\u00a0and then check out this\u00a0Alan Wake-focused NGT. Make sure your PC is ready for\u00a0Alan Wake 2’s beefy system requirements, too.
