The latest update for Stellar Blade, version 1.008, brings significant enhancements, especially for the PlayStation 5 Pro. One of the most notable features introduced is support for High Frame Rate (HFR) Mode. This mode takes advantage of a display’s 120 Hz refresh rate and variable refresh rate, reducing input lag and improving frame rate performance. To use this feature, players must have a compatible display and ensure that the 120 Hz output is enabled in the PlayStation 5 settings. HFR Mode is only available when either the Pro or Pro Max Graphics Mode is selected, which caters specifically to the capabilities of the PlayStation 5 Pro console.
In addition to HFR Mode, the update offers several graphics modes for players to customize their gaming experience. These options include settings that prioritize performance, balance resolution and frame rate, or enhance resolution and visual quality. The Pro mode optimizes balanced settings for the PlayStation 5 Pro, while the Pro Max mode aims to achieve higher frame rates by focusing on resolution. Furthermore, the patch likely includes minor bug fixes to improve overall gameplay stability and performance.
