[UPDATE] Firesprite contacted us after the article’s publication to clarify that there had been a mistake with the details of the Quality Mode. More specifically, The Persistence Enhanced will run at dynamic 4K and 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X when ray tracing effects are enabled, instead of the dynamic 1080p we had been told previously. The article has been updated to reflect that.
[ORIGINAL STORY] The Persistence Enhanced has just been confirmed for a June 4th launch date on next-gen consoles and PC.
Ahead of the announcement, we got the chance to speak with Firesprite Games about this significant update (which is going to be free for those who already own the game). During our lengthy interview, Game Director and Co-Founder Stuart Tilley gave us the lowdown on the ray tracing specifications; The Persistence Enhanced will feature ray traced reflections, shadows, and global illumination.
Tilley also praised the lower loading times enabled by next-gen consoles, thanks to their SSDs and overhauled storage architectures.
Lastly, the developer said that the DualSense controller will make the game more immersive to play on PS5.
Come back tomorrow for our full The Persistence Enhanced interview with Firesprite Games.
