The Division: Lighting effects can be turned off on consoles for a better frame rate

Tom Clancy’s The Division is customisable on consoles, letting gamers decide if they want the focus on graphics or frame rate.

“You can disable certain lighting aspects to improve frame rates in the console versions,” an Ubisoft developer confirmed, speaking with Team Epiphany (via NeoGAF). “I don’t know of another game that does that. So if you want to choose frame rate over visuals, you can if you want.”

The developer continued on to say that the console and PC versions of The Division are essentially two different products.

“One good thing about The Division is we’ve always considered the PC as a separate platform,” the developer continued. “We do have to keep it in check with the consoles; it would be kind of unfair to push it so far away from them. But it’s been good having a dedicated PC build for this game.”

We expect an open beta for The Division later in the month.
