Yes, and PC is the only real option. shadPS4 v0.19.1 runs it at about 60fps on a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an RTX 4080, dipping into the 40s on heavy tracks because of a CPU/memory bottleneck; the GR2fork EXODUS community fork with a 60fps patch reaches 120fps on the same PC. The official compatibility list still rates it in-game (v0.17.0). On a Mac (M3 Pro) it tops out around 15fps, which isn't really playable.
Settings & known issues
- Set Readbacks Mode to Precise in this game's per-game settings.
- 60fps needs a community patch (the original runs at 30fps); XDA tested game v1.28.
- On Mac, dropping below 30fps slows the whole game down and darkens the image.
