Pixel wizards Digital Foundry have reminded folk that Sony Santa Monica Studio‘s critically acclaimed God of War offers a buttery-smooth 60FPS at 4K checkerboard resolution. This is for the disc version of the game, and to achieve this performance, you must not install any updates.
Interestingly, if you install the updates, then you reduce the game’s performance somewhat. You either get 60 FPS at 1080p/1200p or 30 FPS at 4K resolution. So, by not installing the patches, you get the best of both worlds!
