Among the wide set of features we support on PC, here are some of the highlights:
Full support for the DualSense controller
Much like the PS5 console version, we’re bringing the capabilities of the DualSense controller directly to PC. You’ll be able to experience haptic feedback, feeling the heartbeat of characters during intense Don’t Move sequences. Adaptive triggers let you feel the weight of your decisions and experience life-like resistance when pulling the trigger of firearms.
Upscaling with NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3
We use NVIDIA and AMD technology to bring you the latest versions of their cutting-edge expansion technologies.
With NVIDIA, the game supports DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) 3.7, an AI-based upscaler that improves graphics performance and frame rates on GeForce RTX GPUs without sacrificing image quality. We’ve also included frame generation (on supported RTX GPUs) for a smoother experience and NVIDIA Reflex to help reduce latency.
With AMD, we’ve included the latest version of FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) – 3.1, its upscaling technology is designed to work on virtually any hardware. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also included FSR’s Frame Generation technology.
Ultra wide aspect ratio
Playing Until Dawn on an ultrawide monitor is an experience in itself, and it’s something we’ve wanted to do from the beginning. You can play on ultrawide monitors with aspect ratios of 21:9, 32:9, and beyond.
For those who don't want to use the game's new 23.9:1 cinematic aspect ratio, you can also play the game using the original 16:9 aspect ratio. Or, if you prefer, In fact configure it, we allow it to run in “Free” aspect ratio mode.
Ray tracing support
If you have the compatible hardware, Until Dawn is built with a select set of ray tracing features, including shadows, reflections, and ambient occlusion.
Unlocked frame rate
One of the big reasons to play on PC is the sheer power of the hardware you can use. For those who have monitors (and machines) that can play high frame rates: you can play at any frame rate your machine supports.
In addition to these features, we also support various peripherals besides the DualSense controller. We also support Steam Input, so you can remap them as you wish.
