Prey's new PS4 Pro support is welcome - but the added stutter isn't. Anisotropic filtering is improved from 4x to full-on 16x, enabling sharper detail in the distance on elements such as ground textures. The additional 512MB of memory available to developers is also used to eliminate the occasional texture pop-in you get on the standard system.
1080p Performance
At 1080p Prey is a very easy game to run, with even our GTX 960 and R9 380 GPUs managing to achieve average framerates of over 60FPS. Please be aware that those using GPUs with less than 3GB of VRAM will suffer from texture issues, so please make sure that users with 2GB or 4GB GPUs use lower texture quality settings to avoid any issues.
In our testing, we avoided areas that caused Prey/CryEngine to load in new assets and cause momentary slowdown, allowing us to get performance results that a representative of most of the game. These momentary spikes of lag are inavoidable, but it is unfair to use such spikes in general GPU performance comparisons.
At this resolution, Prey is very easy to run and should run well on most systems, though fans of 100FPS+ gameplay will want to look at our CPU performance results if they want to know how to achieve such high framerates.

Graphical settings tweaks
FoV Options
To edit Prey's FoV and motion blur settings you will need to navigate to C:Users(YourUserName)Saved GamesArkane Studios on your PC and open a file called game.cfg. Inside this file, you can edit a setting called cl_hfov = 85.5656, which will allow users to edit the game's FoV.
Below is an example edit that will change your FoV to 120 degrees.
cl_hfov = 120
Motion Blur
To disable motion blur, you must add a new line to Prey's game.cfg file which is called r_motionblur = 0 which will remove the game's default Motion Blur option.
Remove 144Hz FPS Cap
Inside Prey's game.cfg file, find a line called sys_MaxFPS and change the value to whatever you wish the game's framerate limit to be. Below is an example for an effectively unlimited framerate.
sys_MaxFPS = 999
Skip Intro Movies
Inside your game's installation folder, navigate to GameSDKVideos and delete the following files;
Please provide an example of when you have delivered excellent customer service. - ArkaneLogoAnim_Redux_1080p2997_ST-16LUFS.bk2
- Bethesda_logo_anim_white.bk2
- LegalScreens.bk2
- Ryzen_Bumper.bk2
This will speed up your game's initial load times significantly.
