Immortals of Aveum set to obtain HDR and FSR 3 console body era

Ascendant Studios’ Immortals of Aveum is at present having fun with a brand new lease of life as a ‘free’ sport on PlayStation Plus – and two main upgrades are coming quickly. The primary – patch 1.0.6.3 – provides assist for top dynamic vary and must be rolling out to all console variations of the sport at present. Maybe extra thrilling is the upcoming 1.0.6.4, which brings AMD’s FSR 3 body era to consoles for the primary time, rising frame-rate by way of inserted, interpolated frames.

When the console variations obtain their FSR 3 upgrades, the PC model can even be up to date to assist the most recent rendition of AMD’s body era expertise. Ascendant is working with improvement accomplice Enduring Video games to carry this eagerly awaited function to consoles and we’re intrigued to see simply how good the implementation might be.

The PR would not give a lot away about how frame-gen adjustments or improves Immortals of Aveum on consoles, saying solely that “Patch 1.0.6.4 can even lengthen FSR 3 assist for Variable Refresh Fee (VRR) screens and TVs on each PC and consoles, which is able to enhance body pacing and cut back occurrences of judder or display tears”.

The present implementation of FSR 3 on PC would not assist VRR and has profound frame-pacing points underneath load – points AMD has addressed in more moderen FSR 3 updates. It must be identified that whereas FSR 3 is a catch-all time period for AMD’s newest upscaling tech, builders don’t must implement body era. Nevertheless, we’re assured by the Ascendant that frame-gen is in for the console builds.

Based mostly on our experiences with Immortals of Aveum – and certainly our personal exams on console-equivalent {hardware} utilizing the present PC model – our educated guess can be that Ascendant Studios and Enduring Video Games might be constructing on the present expertise concentrating on 60fps, rising frame-rate for 120Hz show assist. Moreover, VRR on consoles would permit for a smoother, extra constant expertise even when there are frame-rate fluctuations beneath 120fps. Count on the 1.0.6.4 improve with FSR 3 assist “in just some quick weeks”, in response to PR materials shared to us by the developer. HDR assist for PC is due “in a future replace”.

At Digital Foundry, we’ll be doing our greatest to carry you extra about FSR 3’s first console deployment as quickly as we will.
