Until Dawn Remake Patch Adds Fidelity and Performance Modes for PS5 and PS5 Pro

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of empathy for the developers behind Until Dawn’s remake. The game seems to be facing some tough times in terms of player numbers and sales, which is always disheartening for any team that has poured their heart and soul into a project.

Despite less-than-expected player counts on both PS5 and PC, Sony and Ballistic Moon’s remake of Until Dawn appears to have had a somewhat lackluster debut in terms of sales. However, the development team is still diligently refining the game for the benefit of existing and future players.

The update version 1.06 for “Until Dawn” is now active, and one of its main updates includes the introduction of new Performance and Fidelity modes on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. These modes let players decide whether they want a smoother gameplay experience with higher frame rates or enhanced graphics. Furthermore, many bugs and technical issues that were present in the game have been fixed. For more details, you can find the complete patch notes below.

Although the update is now available on PS5, Ballistic Moon mentions that the release is slightly delayed on PC due to needing additional testing. However, they assure us that the patch should become accessible to PC gamers later in the week, so the wait shouldn’t be too long.

You can now play Until Dawn on your PlayStation 5 or personal computer. Check out our review of the remake right here! Additionally, a film adaptation of the horror game is scheduled to be released on April 25 of next year.
