- The Resident Evil Requiem director reveals it runs at 4K with 60 FPS on PS5 Pro with ray tracing.
- The game can hit up to 120 FPS with an average of 120 frames without RT.
- It takes full advantage of other PlayStation features, like advanced haptic feedback.
Resident Evil Requiem is launching soon with a focus on Raccoon City to continue the main storyline. All the anticipation built by trailers and gameplay reveals pushed the game to become one of Steam’s most wishlisted titles, with 4 million wishlists.
The game’s director now reveals that Requiem will take full advantage of the PS5 Pro’s advanced hardware. Therefore, the horror experience will run at a smooth 4K 60 FPS capacity with ray tracing to achieve lifelike visuals.
Why it matters: The game will run at 60 FPS despite using ray tracing, with the added visuals enhancing the game’s horror without tanking performance.
In an interview with PlayStation, director Akishi Nakanishi confirms that Resident Evil Requiem targets up to 120 FPS on the PS5 Pro as long as ray tracing is disabled. It can run at an average of 90 FPS without RT.
The team spent a lot of time optimizing the frame rates with RT enabled to ensure players have a buttery experience. While ray tracing will improve visuals by a wide margin, going back from 120 to 60 FPS will feel a bit lacking, as per the director.
you can play with 4K output, 60fps, and full ray tracing. If you have a monitor that supports high frame rates when turned off, you can play at up to 120fps and the average at 90fps.

The game will fully utilize haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the DualSense controller, to the point that the rumble would let the player feel as if zombies were grabbing and biting their arms and hands.
Leon’s segments in Resident Evil Requiem will turn the gameplay into pure high-octane action, while Grace’s playstyle will be more horror-oriented due to her lack of experience.
Regardless, the game is set to drop on February 27, 2026, for PC, PS5, and the Xbox Series lineup.
