Being a console, there isn’t much you can tweak in terms of graphics settings. However, certain parameters, such as the graphics modes and motion blur, directly affect performance.For graphics modes, opt for Quality mode if you prioritize resolution over performance, but expect ~30 FPS. If you prioritize performance, select Performance mode to get around 60 FPS. However, if you want the best quality lighting and shadows, go for the Ray Tracing mode. This mode renders graphics at an intermediate resolution and maintains around 30 FPS.HUD style is more of a personal preference. Standard mode shows all the HUD and is recommended for new players. Expert mode, on the other hand, minimizes the HUD for a more immersive experience and is only suggested for seasoned players.Here are the best graphics settings for the game on the PS5: Brightness: 50UI Brightness (HDR): 50Contrast: DefaultGraphics Mode: Ray TracingMotion Blur: OffKurosawa Mode: OffMiike Mode: OffWatanabe Mode: OffEnemy Status Meter: OnHUD Style: Standard (use Expert mode if you’re a seasoned player)Show Mask in Cutscenes: OffShow on Back: Last UsedShow Blood: OnDismemberment: OnAlso read: 7 best beginner tips and tricks for Ghost of YoteiThe best Ghost of Yotei graphics settings for PS5 ProRay Tracing Pro looks incredible on the PS5 Pro (Image via Sony Interactive Entertainment)Ghost of Yotei looks even better on the PS5 Pro, which is the only console to support the Ray Tracing Pro graphics mode.
