God Of War To Receive Performance Mode On PS4 Pro
Keeping in line with what Shadow Of The Colossus did in February, God Of War director Cory Barlog has announced that PS4 Pro players will be able to play the game in performance mode. According to Barlog, the game upscales to 4K resolution for those with 4K TVs. Those who don't play in 4K will net a performance boost.
When asked, Barlog did not specify that the game would play in 60 FPS but simply said that it would be "smooth." He did confirm that the performance mode was for the Pro only with a tweet:
Ps4 pro only. If you run in 1080 on pro it will use the power normally used to render in 4k to make the game run faster. It looks/moves sooooooo nice.
