Much like another soon-releasing game, Arkane has partnered with AMD to implement its FidelityFX Super Resolution technology into Deathloop for achieving smoother frame rates. Moreover, Ultrawide monitor support and a field of view slider are also present here. Everything from texture details and post-processing to the headbob force are available for adjusting as well. Find the full list of options here.
The action-adventure game puts players into the shoes of Colt, an assassin with supernatural powers who is tasked with taking out a series of targets on the island of Blackreef, but the list has to be crossed off in a single night. To help with matters, Colt is stuck in a time loop until he figures out the optimal path to get his job done. However, there is an opposing assassin on the hunt for him, and in some cases, this character, Julianna, can be another player invading from their own game.
Deathloop launches on September 14 across PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Bethesda.net.
As for when exactly it unlocks, on the console side, the title will become playable at 12AM midnight in each region on that date, while PC players will get in at 9PM PT in the Americas, 8AM PT in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, as well as 4PM PT in Europe and rest of the world. Preloads will be available starting 48 hours before launch on the PlayStation 5, and 1PM EDT on September 12 on PC.
