Deathloop Update Improves Performance With Ray-Tracing On PS5
Arkane Lyon has released a new update today for Deathloop that appears to fix the performance issues for the game on the PS5.
According to the official patch notes shared by Arkane Lyon, among the fixes is an improvement to the performance of the game when running the ray-tracing mode. Keep in mind that there were multiple modes available to play in the game and the performance wasn’t locked 60 FPS at launch.
The ray-tracing mode runs at 30 FPS, unfortunately, so if you opt for it, you will have to settle with a lower frame rate. There were stability issues with the 60 FPS mode as well, so hopefully, these are resolved in the new update.
Other changes include DLSS support for the PC version, DualSense microphone support for PC, and more as shown in the patch notes below.
