Digital Foundry specialists tested the game on Xbox Series X and PC. On Microsoft's flagship console, the project runs at a locked 60 FPS in performance mode.

This result is particularly noteworthy given the use of Unreal Engine and hardware ray tracing. To maintain a stable frame rate, developers use dynamic resolution scaling, which usually hovers around 1080p, maintaining a sharp image.

Developers reduce the quality of transparency effects in the most demanding scenes to maintain performance without noticeable degradation of graphics. The Xbox Series S version has not yet received sufficient optimization and has not been provided for testing.

On handheld devices, the situation is significantly worse. Tests on ROG Ally X showed only 30–40 FPS at minimum graphics settings. According to Digital Foundry experts, achieving a stable 30 frames per second on Steam Deck may prove extremely difficult.
