Our selection for the best options across a range of hardware.
Dying Light 2 is a true graphics juggernaut that shines brightest on PC.
However, with Dying Light 2, it seems that Techland has chosen a different approach.
The base last-gen consoles effectively run at something equivalent to PC at its low global preset.
This rises to medium for the last-gen enhanced machines, and high for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
However, many PC gamers chose to push the slider to the max, effectively killing performance.
This time around, level of details sliders for geometry and shadow maps are absent.
Secondly, this higher floor means that Dying light 2 scales worse than its predecessor on lower end hardware.
In truth, the high setting seems almost like overkill in many scenarios.
When it comes to optimised configs overall, one set of recommendations isn’t quite enough.
Scaling down from there, less capable RTX cards should be capable of delivering good results at lower resolutions.
As for performance in general, I’d rate Dying Light 2 fairly well.
