Pearl Abyss America PR Director Will Powers said?
We have already gone gold. Further optimization is now underway so that the game runs as smoothly as possible.
Although details on console resolution and FPS are still limited, the BlackSpace engine is capable of delivering native 4K/60 FPS.
Yes, we will show native 4K/60 with ray tracing; this is done directly by the engine without DLSS or FSR.
Those who need the best optimization will be able to configure all the settings themselves.
I would not say that the game is optimized absolutely perfectly, but absolutely everything possible within the engine is being used. Otherwise, this would be impossible. And so, thanks to the ability to render thousands of trees within visible range, it handles this better than a standard engine could.
The developers noted that ready-made engines did not allow them to realize their vision, so they created their own.
