what does it mean for a video game to be optimised to run on a particular set of hardware?

124 views

The question comes from comments I’ve read regarding games like ‘Gotham Knights’ and ‘Plague Tale Requiem’ where people are saying the game could have run at higher FPS than it does on PS5 or XBX if it was properly optimised for the consoles.

It means they should tweak the game so it runs well on that hardware. This could include things like reducing the number of unnecessary background objects, or the quality of the objects, or changing the screen resolution.

It *can* also mean internal changes to process data in a way that’s more efficient on that CPU, but that’s less common. Most commonly it does mean turning down the graphics quality.

It means they think the developers made the game do more intense stuff than what the hardware can actually do well.
