Following this week’s announcement of Tales of Graces f Remastered, Bandai Namco provided more information about the game – specifically frame rate, resolution, and improvements. This information comes from the official website.
First, on the tech specs specifically, Tales of Graces f Remastered is 30 frames per second on Switch with a 1080p docked / 720p portable resolution. The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions run at 60 FPS and at a generally higher resolution, but that’s to be expected.

However, now that it’s finally here, the end result is more than worth the wait.
