Update: We've slightly tweaked this video to more explicitly confirm dynamic resolution scaling on all modes, and also to confirm 2160p checkerboard rendering on the 40Hz balanced mode. This one goes live later today and is now available for early access to all supporters.

Realize it would sort of be a spoiler, but was hoping to see some coverage of the Horus fight, since the tech is pretty wild, taking place in an open world.

Chances of Guerrilla updating the main game to the visual fidelity of the DLC?

I'm surprised to not hear about all the issues with LOD transitions / pop-in that this DLC has. Flickering also, and lights just turning on and off at distance. It's really jarring.

So what is the resolution on balance mode? I played through horizon fw on this mode and planning to do so with burning shores.

Thx for the response 🙏 i will keep playing on balance mode then.
