According to a recent post from the official Portkey Games Support site, Hogwarts Legacy will support various graphic modes for the PS5 and Xbox X|S, with the main points highlighting Fidelity mode and Performance mode. Fidelity mode, targeting 30 FPS, allows you to run the game at lower frames but with higher-quality visuals. In contrast, Performance mode prioritizes high FPS, fast loading times and a smoother gameplay experience over visual appearance.

The post also mentions support for Variable Refresh Rate, a system that allows your TV or monitor to adjust its refresh rates to your frame rate automatically. When tied into changing your console resolution settings, it prevents issues like stuttering and screen tearing while maintaining high visual quality.
