EA-owned Codemasters is increasingly giving us more details about F1 2021 leading up to its launch on July 16. You can check out several gameplay videos of the upcoming title and see what all is coming to racers around the world. A new damage model, as well as tyre degradation model, has got players excited. Now, we have more information on the system performance on consoles.
The F1 2021 game performance will have two modes for both the current generation consoles. Similar to Spiderman: Miles Morale on the PS5, F1 2021 will get two performance modes on both PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. There will be a Graphics Mode that focuses on higher resolution while the Performance Mode goes for higher frame rates.
F1 2021 to get two performance modes
Under the Graphics Mode, players can expect to see the F1 2021 game running in 4K resolution at 60 fps. Both the current generation consoles support 4K at 60 fps, provided the TV is supported. The Performance Mode drops the resolution to 1440p but bumps up the frame rate to 120 fps. The details were confirmed by Game Director Lee Mather in an interview with Gaming Bolt.
Sadly, those who got the Xbox Series S have to compromise with the overall performance. Series S users only have a single graphics mode that will run the game in 1080p resolution at 60 fps. Players can expect to run the game at the highest texture settings on all these consoles.
On the other hand, PC players don’t have to worry a lot about just two graphics performance modes. Codemasters has released the minimum system requirements as well as recommended system requirements on PC. Check them out.
