Black Flag Resynced seals PS5 60fps, with Pro getting a fidelity boost

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced confirms up to 60 FPS on PS5 with HDR, Dolby Atmos and DualSense haptics; both PS5 and PS5 Pro output upscaled 4K (2160p) across all modes, which are Performance (60 FPS), Balanced (40 FPS) and Fidelity (30 FPS). Ray tracing is limited on base PS5 but more extensively used in Balanced/Fidelity, focusing on global illumination with reflections as extras. The Pro gains higher internal resolution in the higher-framerate modes and includes the strand-based hair system for Edward Kenway (and NPCs in Fidelity), with cinematics applying the tech for all characters. Built on the Anvil engine, the remaster is also headed to PC and Xbox Series X/S, with Eurogamer noting its charm despite rough edges.
