A Plague Tale: Requiem Treated to 60fps Mode in New PS5 Patch | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Asobo Studio has today deployed a surprise PS5 patch for A Plague Tale: Requiem that updates the title with a new 60 frames-per-second Performance Mode. It's available to download now, and updates the game to version 1.005.000.

When we reviewed the game at launch last year, the choppy frame rate was one of the few flaws we identified in the otherwise fantastic narrative experience. «It's really difficult to work out what frame rate the game is even targeting,» we said. «A choppy frame rate and significant drops during action-heavy scenes are common, and without any graphical options to speak of, there's no escaping them.» Of course, with the introduction of a 60fps mode, you now have the ability to tweak performance. With what is now hopefully a smooth frame rate, A Plague Tale: Requiem earns its 8/10 rating even more.

In addition, the game is actually part of today's new PS Store sale, which drops the price to £32.49/$38.99. If you want to try it before you buy, though, then there's also a two-hour Time Limited Trial available via PS Plus Premium.

This is good to see as there was little excuse to why this was 30 FPS in the first place. I'm glad this managed to slip through the cracks with me so I can experience it in 60 FPS whenever I finally play it like the first one.

Played the first one — loved it. Yet to get second one(massive backlog), but when I do, this patch will do nicely, thank you.
