Ghost of Yotei is well-optimized for the standard PS5, ensuring both smooth performance and crisp visuals. Since this is 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, opt for Quality mode if you prioritize resolution over performance, but expect ~30 FPS. If you prioritize performance, select the Performance mode to get around 60 FPS. However, if you want the best lighting and shadows, go for the Ray Tracing mode, which renders graphics at an intermediate resolution and gives you around 30 FPS.

The HUD style is more of a personal preference. The Standard mode shows all the HUD options and is recommended for new players. The Expert one, 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: 50
UI Brightness (HDR): 50
Contrast: Default
Graphics Mode: Ray Tracing
Motion Blur: Off
Kurosawa Mode: Off
Miike Mode: Off
