The Medium PC Frame Rate and Resolution

If you have a PC that meets minimum requirements expect around 1080p at 30fps with the graphics set to the low preset claims Bloober Team. If your PC is in line with the recommended requirements you’ll get around 1080p at 30fps with the graphics settings on medium.

Assuming your PC meets the high system requirement you can expect 1440p at 30fps with graphcs set to high and if your PC is in line with specifications for playing it at ultra, you can get around 2160p at 30fps.

System requirements for ray tracing should yeild similar performance for each tier i.e. 1080p at 30fps for minimum, 1440p at 30fps for recommended, and 2160p at 30fps for ray tracing set to high.

Running on Unreal Engine 4, The Medium will make use of Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing and Nvidia's DLSS technologies to run real-time ray tracing on reflections and shadows.

The Medium will be available on Steam, Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, and will also be available through Xbox Game Pass at launch on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
