Everyone who plays the game will have access to accessibility features and cheats thanks to a free anniversary update.
Five days before the first anniversary of Alan Wake 2, the developers at Remedy Entertainment have some exciting news for players. Today is the fifth day before the anniversary. To begin, individuals who intend to purchase the game for the PlayStation 5 Pro will be able to take advantage of enhanced Quality and Performance modes. Additionally, there will be a free anniversary update that promises a great deal of upgrades as well as “cheats.”
Despite the fact that the Remedy team went into great detail regarding the PS5 Pro enhancements in Alan Wake 2, we will keep this discussion brief. The PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling mechanism is employed by Sony, and it is responsible for both the quality and performance modes. This makes it possible for quality mode to achieve an output resolution of 4K, while the render resolution is increased to 2,176 by 1,224. Only 30 frames per second are being used for ray-traced reflections. The performance mode, on the other hand, also produces outputs at 4K resolution; however, the render resolution is only 1,536 x 864, and there is no ray-tracing. Nevertheless, the frame rate counter will hit sixty.
Additionally, Remedy asserts that improvements have been made to fog, volumetric lighting, shadow accuracy, and image stability while using the Pro performance option. Further explanation is provided by the firm, which states that the performance mode of the PlayStation 5 Pro is superior to the quality mode of the PlayStation 5 base model in terms of output resolution and visual detail. Although the render detail is not identical to the original, it is very near.
Moving on to the anniversary update, players of Alan Wake 2 (all of you, not just those who buy a PS5 Pro) will be able to take advantage of enhancements such as an inverted X axis on the mouse and keyboard, support for DualSense gyro aiming, haptics support for a greater number of items, and the Gameplay Assist menu. Among the “features” that may be found on the menu are invulnerability to damage, immortality, endless ammunition, flashlight batteries that do not run out, and an assortment of other options.
The fact that it sounds like a formula for disaster and anarchy is something that some players want, but we can’t say for sure whether you feel the same way. It is a good sight for those who struggle with the control methods that are currently accessible, as Remedy Entertainment is working to improve the game’s accessibility first and foremost. Despite the fact that the PS5 Pro upgrades do not yet have a release date, the anniversary update will be released tomorrow, on October 22.
