Useless Island 2 will assist AMD’s FSR2 and FidelityFX Distinction Adaptive Sharpening, however its FAQ contains the odd declare that it “doesn’t assist performance-boosting software program.” Deep Silver did not specify what precisely meaning, however the very best guess is that it refers to Nvidia’s DLSS, which isn’t talked about within the specs or FAQ. It would not make a lot sense to solely name Nvidia’s upscaling expertise “performance-boosting software program” when AMD’s FSR is far the identical. Regardless, it looks as if the takeaway right here isn’t any DLSS assist. Bummer.
A “streamer mode” that blocks licensed music is included (though it will not block the music within the opening cinematic, so you may nonetheless have to look at for that) and there is a 3-player co-op mode, however crossplay shouldn’t be supported.
Some Useless Island followers on Twitter felt that the listed specs are a bit of steep, however our greater concern lies with the sport itself, which has struggled by way of a messy, decade-long improvement (opens in new tab). After an in depth hands-on session (opens in new tab) with the primary third of the sport in March, senior editor Robin Valentine mentioned it felt “uninspired and too fast to wear down its welcome.” That is removed from a full evaluate, nevertheless it’s not an important begin.
After years of ready, Useless Island 2 will lastly come out on April 21 and will likely be out there on PC on the Epic Video games Retailer (opens in new tab).
