Graphics:

You can also customize the graphics quality in the Skull and Bones settings. Like most AAA titles, you get a Quality and a Performance mode. The former targets 4K 30 FPS on the PS5, while the Performance option sacrifices the resolution to about 1440p to favor 60 FPS experiences. Since Skull and Bones isn't a fast-paced game, we recommend sticking to the Quality mode.

The best combination is as follows:

Graphics mode: Quality
Depth of field: On
Motion blur: On

The above Skull and Bones settings list for PS5 will help you get a headstart in the game without spending hours figuring out the best combinations. For the most part, the stock settings work pretty well. However, we recommend some tweaks here and there for a balanced experience.
