FPS and compatibility scores are estimates from catalog data and hardware benchmarks. Real results vary with drivers, settings, cooling, and background apps. Upcoming titles may use AI/heuristic specs until official requirements ship.

Optimization Tips

Game is capped at 62 FPS by default in the configuration files; values reflect uncapped performance.
Edit XComEngine.ini to change 'MaxSmoothedFrameRate' from 62 to 0 to unlock the frame rate.
Disable V-Sync in the game menu if you experience input lag during tactical movement.
Use your GPU control panel to force 16x Anisotropic Filtering for better texture clarity.
If the game stutters, set the game process priority to 'High' in Windows Task Manager.

Performance Estimates

Estimated average FPS. Above 60 is smooth; real results vary by settings and drivers.
