We know optimization is a big concern for many and the majority of our focus was on improving quality settings. Graphics settings should have more predictable results and FPS is all around more stable. Beta players have reported 3-5 extra frames, and in some cases 10 extra fps. Results will vary, but we hope our efforts allow a smoother experience for many.

If you'd like to share your feedback & help us keep improving the game, please join our community Discord. Thank you for your support, as always, Guardians ^^ Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year everyone!
