FF16 Best PS5 Graphics Settings
During the gameplay, we noticed the game to be a bit darker. We recommend you increase the brightness a little. Keeping that in mind, here are the best Final Fantasy 16 (FFXVI) graphics settings for PS5.
- Screen Brightness: 8
- Subtitles: On
- Wireless Controller Vibration: On
- Game Performance: Graphics
- Visual Alerts: On
- Visual Alert Size: 80
- Visual Alert Opacity: 70
- Gameplay: Story Focused
- Camera Movement Speed: 5
- Camera Sensitivity (Horizontal): 3
- Camera Sensitivity (Vertical): 3
We recommend you set the Game Performance to Graphics since your PlayStation 5 can run the game at 4K 30 FPS upscaled from 1440p. However, if you choose the Frame Rate mode, then your PS5 will run FFXVI at 1440p 60 FPS upscaled from 1080p. This seems like a downgrade if you have a 2K or 4K TV.
As we mentioned, we’ve increased the screen brightness to view the darker parts of the game. However, you can notice screen bleeding on some frames so you can set it according to your preference.
Gameplay is another setting you can change. In Story Focused mode, the combat is easy compared to the Action Focused mode. So if you’re more into fast-paced and grand battles, then we recommend you switch to the Action Focused mode.
We hope this guide helped you select the best Final Fantasy 16 (FF16) graphics and controller settings for PS5. If you want more helpful guides on this game like how to skip cutscenes, then we recommend you visit our FFXVI guides section.
