Evil West's PS5 Performance Modes Is a Bit of a Kicker at 1080p, 60fps

Game's graphical settings revealed.

Super promising action-shooter Evil West is out next week on PS5 and PS4, and we're very much looking forward to giving it a go. However, the game's graphical options — particularly on Sony's current-gen console — leave something to be desired.


These options were just recently confirmed by publisher Focus Home Interactive, and they've triggered a bit of a backlash amongst hardcore PlayStation fans. On PS5, players will have to choose between a quality mode pushing 2160p at 30 frames-per-second, or a performance mode which cuts the resolution all the way down to 1080p so the game can hit 60 frames-per-second.


Most performance modes on PS5 target a higher base resolution, or employ the magic of dynamic resolution to keep things looking sharp, so Evil West's sacrifice in this department is a disappointment. It's obviously a very action-heavy title, so you'll probably want that (hopefully) smooth 60fps — but on a 4K TV, 1080p can look decidedly muddy these days. PS5 users will have a decision to make, then.


Meanwhile, PS4 and PS4 Pro get a standard 1080p at 30fps, with the Pro offering "improved graphical quality".
