Official screenshots reflect the live Vulkan/DX12 client on PC—this wiki does not benchmark FPS on specific GPUs.
What Steam does not specify (avoid fake numbers)
- No official 1080p/1440p FPS targets on the store page.
- No FOV slider documented in EA patch notes we track—players have requested FOV/HDR/gamma in Steam discussions (player reports, not promises).
- Steam Deck / Proton: community threads ask whether Deck play needs extra launch options; we did not verify Valve’s Deck badge text at write time—do not treat this page as Deck guidance.
- Controller support flags on the store sidebar show no full/partial Xbox or Steam Input API support in API fields—keyboard/mouse first unless you test otherwise.
Languages and accessibility notes tied to PC build
From the same Steam listing:
- Interface & subtitles: English, Japanese, Russian (Full Audio not flagged for these).
- Photosensitivity: official warning for flashing and stroboscopic effects—relevant if you play on high refresh with unlimited frame caps (Controls and settings documents demo-era framerate limit options).
Practical setup tips (non-official, low risk)
These are wiki suggestions, not Studio Kerosene statements:
- Prefer the discrete GPU if a laptop tries to use integrated graphics—demo patch notes explicitly fixed wrong GPU selection.
- If audio fails to init, EA 2026-10-31 notes say the game may launch silent when no playback device works—see Patch notes for the official behavior.
- Start with a framerate cap if you enable vsync alternatives; demo notes warned vsync can add input latency.

Heavier particle and lighting scenes still target modest GPU tiers per Steam’s GTX 1650-class recommendation—not a AAA ray-tracing profile.
