- Warhorse Studios states that it intends to work with future upscaling technologies.
- Despite this focus, the team will continue to focus on native optimization, believing this is the best approach.
- This focus ensured the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 PC port was a major success.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 boasts many strengths, but its PC port stands out as a major victory for the gaming industry. In an era where developers release incomplete PC versions all too often, the RPG delivers stunning visuals and performance across all platforms.
Warhorse Studios’ focus on rigorous testing and optimization was one reason the PC port turned out so polished, and the team reiterated this focus in our exclusive interview. Discussing the rise of modern upscaling technologies, Warhorse Studios states that optimization should remain at the forefront.
Why it matters: Recent games have made it all too clear that developers often rely on upscaling to do the heavy lifting and ignore optimization. This can lead to games that run poorly on weaker hardware.
We recently discussed the importance of modern upscaling with Warhorse Studios’ Tobias Stolz-Zwilling.
When asked about his thoughts on developers potentially ignoring optimization for various hardware configurations due to these technologies, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling stated that Warhose Studios has a different mindset but remains open to the future.
The developer is willing to embrace and work with such technologies, but it also believes this should not come at the expense of optimization. This philosophy is why Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 worked so well on all types of PC builds.
We decided that optimizing our game is the better solution than relying on other systems.
Moreover, he emphasized that Warhorse Studios is still working on fixes for the RPG. The team is fully dedicated to improving the experience as much as possible.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2’s success is a clear indication that other developers should follow suit. While many have resorted to using DLSS and FSR as the default optimization replacement today, teams that focus on optimization typically find the most success on both PC and consoles.
Because handheld gaming is also expected to become more popular in the future, mastering optimization across lower-end hardware will become even more critical to future releases.
