  • Quality Mode: This makes the game look its best. It uses the top graphics settings aiming for 30FPS and 4K resolution. But, it might be a bit harder on your console.
  • Performance Mode: This mode gives you a smoother play, but the visuals might not be as sharp. It targets 60FPS with a resolution of 1440p/1080p.

  • I'd suggest the Quality mode for Alan Wake 2. The visuals stand out more, and I didn't face many issues on my console with this setting.
  • However, if your console tends to overheat or if you encounter many technical problems, it might be safer to choose Performance mode.

In the end, the decision is yours. But remember, Alan Wake 2's Quality mode offers some of the most impressive visuals in horror gaming!
