Hey gamers! So, guess what? Remedy just dropped an update for Alan Wake 2, and it’s kinda a big deal, especially if you’re rocking a PS5 Pro. Like, have you ever been playing your favorite game and thought, “Why does everything look so… off?” Well, this patch is here to help with that!
The latest update allows players to turn off the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), Sony’s fancy AI-driven upscaling tech meant to make everything look super crisp. Nnot every game has nailed it since the PS5 Pro’s launch last month. Some players stared at blurry textures instead of the stunning visuals they expected.
This new update also includes various fixes across all platforms while focusing on improving performance specifically for us PS5 Pro users. You can find the details below:
Patch Notes
Improvements and additions
- [PS5 Pro] Added a new “Balanced” graphics mode. This mode requires compatible displays that can achieve a 120Hz refresh rate. The Balanced mode combines PS5 Pro Quality mode settings including raytracing with Performance mode resolution. This mode targets 40fps.
- [PS5 Pro] Slightly adjusted visual settings of the Performance mode to achieve a more consistent framerate.
- [PS5 Pro] Quality and Balanced mode: Adjusted Raytracing settings to achieve a less noisy image.
- [PS5 Pro] Added an option to toggle PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) On/Off.
Fixes
- [The Lake House] Fixed manuscript collectables that showed the wrong page in Saga’s Mind Place.
- [The Lake House] Fixed “Welcome to the Lake House” video collectable missing audio.
- Minor fixes and optimizations.
This is pretty exciting stuff! Other games like Silent Hill 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor have faced similar issues post-PS5 release, so it’s nice to see Remedy stepping up their game here!
