- Horror games are finally going through a resurgence thanks to titles like Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2, and Alan Wake 2.
- A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is releasing in just three days, and the hype is pretty high.
- However, the game will run at 4k/30FPS and 2K/60FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X, while it will run at 2K/30FPS on Xbox Series S.
Many great horror games have recently been released, with Silent Hill 2 Remake being the latest one, adding volume to the lineup. It is good to see horror games going through a resurgence, and it is all thanks to gems like Resident Evil 4 remake, Alan Wake 2, and Silent Hill 2 remake.
Of course, more games, like The Outlast Trials and the Dead Space remake, helped in the resurgence. Following the recent survival horror hit, another game in the same genre will be released in just a few days.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead will be released on 17 October, but it will run at 4K 30FPS on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Why it matters: 30FPS isn’t much appreciated in this generation, and many gamers prefer 60FPS at the 4K resolution.
As revealed by Stormind Games’ recent interview with GamingBolt, the game will run at 4k 30FPS on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. However, it also has the 2K 60FPS option, so those who prefer more FPS needn’t worry.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead uses Unreal Engine 5, so not running at 4K 60FPS on the consoles should have been expected in the first place. This has already happened a lot, so fans might not be shocked to hear it.
However, the game’s visuals do justice to the requirements, as it looks absolutely gorgeous and horrifying. That said, Xbox Series S users might not be delighted to hear that the game is only targeting 2K 30FPS on the console.
Given that it is an Unreal Engine 5 game, we are not surprised, but FPS doesn’t matter that much in the survival horror genre unless there is too much tracking. The recommended graphics card to play this game on PC is an RTX 3080 and 32 GB Memory, which is absurd.
Hopefully, the game won’t have performance issues on release, as the requirements are already pretty high.
As of now, there isn’t any information on how it will run on the PS5 Pro, but it is expected to get 4k 60FPS on it.
What do you think about this survival horror game running at 4K 30FPS on the current-gen consoles? Do you think it is fair? Let us know in the comments section or join the discussion at the Tech4Gamers official forums.
