Graphics Settings

Prey only has few settings, which is slightly uncommon for Cry Engine games. On the first screen, the usual monitor options are included, and there is an option to turn off V-Sync, which still keeps a hidden FPS cap of 144 FPS activated.

Available graphics setting profiles are: Low, Medium, High, and Very High.



You can make more detailed changes on the second screen. Selectable anti-aliasing modes are: off, FXAA, SMAA 1X, SMAA 1TX, and SMAA 2TX.

Overall, the settings are sort of limited; what I really, really miss is an FOV slider!
