The future of humanity on this world is in your hands.

Optimization Tips

SSD required for optimal streaming of large underwater biomes.
Enable DLSS or FSR Quality mode to significantly improve performance in dense underwater vegetation areas.
Install the game on an NVMe SSD to eliminate micro-stuttering during biome transitions.
Lower the 'Shadow Quality' setting first if you are struggling to maintain a stable 60 FPS.
Disable Ray Tracing if you are not using Frame Generation, as it is extremely taxing on mid-range hardware.
