PS5 & Xbox Series X: Which Lies of P graphics mode is best?
If playing on PS5 or Xbox Series X, the best Lies of P graphics mode is the Performance mode - called "Performance-centred mode" which prioritises frame rate optimisation - over the Quality mode which favours high resolution.
This is because when exploring and engaging in combat in the city of Krat, the targetted 60FPS in Performance mode makes for a much smoother experience in gameplay.
What's more, the higher frame rate in Performance mode also promotes better competency for the player in general - with the more sleek movement of enemies giving the opportunity for improved timings on dodging or achieving a Perfect Guard.
However, the best graphics mode in Lies of P for you may be different to fit your playstyle. To clarify, the performance specifications for each Lies of P graphics mode are as follows:
Graphics mode | Resolution | FPS (Frame rate) |

How does Lies of P Quality mode compare to Performance mode?
Although the same resolution on paper post-upscaling, the higher native resolution of the Lies of P Quality mode boasts enhanced visuals in the form of improved reflections, shadows, lighting, and draw distance - which is great if you prefer more dazzling displays.
On the other hand, the gameplay experience base Quality-centred mode is far more sluggish when compared to Life of P's Performance mode.
