Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 delivers high-end UE5 visuals with solid performance


Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 delivers high-end UE5 features on PS5, Pro and Series X along with an impressive 60fps mode... but Series S is a compromised 30fps.

But the game trends towards more and more fantastical locales as it progresses, including coralline environments that are underwater in every sense but literally, and crimson forests populated by mechanical wooden dolls. | Image credit: Digital Foundry Series S is, as always, the exception, with a visually compromised 30fps mode that trades Lumen reflections for SSR and uses simplified global illumination. Performance is locked to 30fps outside of some cutscene wobbles, which is praise-worthy, but I can imagine beating the game on Series S would be substantially more challenging than the other console platforms due to the lack of a 60fps mode.
