| Xbox Series X | FSR 3.1 |
Additional Performance Features
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) – now supported on both PS5 models, smoothing gameplay and eliminating screen tearing.
- Variable Rate Shading (VRS) – reduces GPU load in less critical areas, preserving high performance while maintaining image quality.
- Dynamic Resolution Scaling (DRS) – added for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC to keep frame rates steady during intense scenes.

Future Plans
These updates are just the beginning. Arrowhead Studios plans a summer tech‑focused patch that will monitor hardware performance post-launch to fine‑tune the experience further.
