Phantom Blade Zero is out now for everyone as a console exclusive on PlayStation 5 and on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store as well. If you missed it, it's my favorite action game of the year so far, and you can read why in Game Informer's Phantom Blade Zero review. That explains why I think you should check the game out; Game Informer's list of Phantom Blade Zero tips and tricks will get you some key information I wish I had when I started the game; and this guide I wrote up about the requirements you need to get the best ending in Phantom Blade Zero will help you find all story-critical content in the game.
However, you're looking for advice on which of the three visual modes Phantom Blade Zero offers you should use on your PS5. This here piece is for you.
Phantom Blade Zero has three visual modes on PS5 Pro: Quality, Balanced, and Performance. I tested all three. My personal favorite was Balanced , which gives you an upscaled (checkerboarded) 4K resolution at 40 FPS, as long as you have a 120Hz TV with VRR. If you have a 120Hz TV, it likely has VRR because most major manufacturers include it with 120Hz. I like this mode because the upscaled 4K looks beautiful, just a hair less than native 4K, and if you aren't someone super trained on those details, I'd wager you won't notice the difference. The best part is that this mode offers 40 FPS gameplay, which, contrary to how math works, is halfway between 30 FPS and 60 FPS; I'm not kidding, look it up.
