Dying Light 2 Stay Human developers are working hard to ensure that in spite of the game’s cross-gen launch, it doesn’t end up sacrificing quality on last-gen consoles. Even so, those who play the game on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S can, of course, expect some perks, with the developers having confirmed earlier this year that the game will feature multiple graphics modes on the new consoles for players to choose from. Now, speaking with MP1st, lead level designer Piotr Pawlaczyk has talked a bit more about what you can expect from those.

According to Pawlaczyk, in Quality mode, in addition to 4K resolution and ray tracing, players can also expect improved volumetric effects and better post-processing elements. Meanwhile, Performance mode will, of course, bring 60 FPS frame rates, though if you’re playing on Xbox Series X/S and PC, you can also enable Variable Refresh Rate (which, of course, isn’t support on the PS5 right now).

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is set to launch at the tail end of this year, on December 7, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Stay tuned for more updates until then.
