The game's optimization has been criticized for poor performance, particularly when ray tracing is enabled, which seems unnecessary given the limited visibility of the environments. Additionally, the absence of DLSS further exacerbates the performance issues.
- “The ray tracing support in this game is pretty pointless since you can barely see the environments, and my game's performance is surprisingly bad with ray tracing (there is no DLSS).”
