For the best PC settings in Below, Rusted Gods, begin with a clear image and a frame rate you can maintain. Official sources confirm a PC version on Steam and a demo, but they do not publish precise graphics values or recommended sensitivity.
That makes controlled testing the safest approach: change one option, replay the same section, and compare the result. The Steam demo provides a practical way to do this before a longer session.
Make the image readable first
Keep the display's native resolution while the game remains smooth. Avoid changing resolution, render scale and upscaling together, or you will not know which option affected sharpness.
Adjust brightness in a dark area. Outlines, paths and important elements should remain visible without making black areas look grey. If subtitles or text-size options are available, choose a setting that remains readable from your usual playing distance.
Find an FPS cap your PC can hold
A consistent frame rate is more useful than a higher figure that drops repeatedly. If the game or your driver provides a frame-rate limit, choose a cap the PC can sustain in the most detailed sections.
- Launch the demo or a game in a quiet area.
- Move quickly through a more detailed area.
- If smoothness drops, reduce one available visual setting.
- Replay the same route before changing resolution.
- Keep the profile that remains consistent for several minutes.
Close screen-recording tools and unnecessary overlays during the comparison. This may free resources without reducing image clarity. The official Steam page lists the demo and published information about the game.
Set controls without chasing a universal value
Steam confirms that the game is available on PC, but the consulted sources provide neither recommended bindings nor sensitivity values. Start with moderate sensitivity and raise it only if direction changes require excessive movement.
With a controller, adjust the dead zone only if the option exists. Too little can expose stick drift, while too much makes small adjustments slower. Remap a button only when its position forces you to release an important control.
Keep each comparison honest
- Do not present a preset as official without confirmation from FromSouthGames.
- Do not lower resolution before checking background tasks and available effects.
- Do not change three variables between two tests.
- Do not judge smoothness from a menu screen.
- Do not raise brightness until dark areas lose their depth.
In practice, retain native resolution if performance remains stable, then choose a sustainable FPS cap. Adjust brightness in an actual scene, set up the controls, and keep the same profile for a full session to see whether it continues to hold up.

Frequently asked questions
Which settings should you change first on PC?
Start with native resolution, brightness and a stable FPS cap if one is available. Set up the controls after validating the image.

Lower one visual setting at a time and replay the same section. Reduce resolution only after checking background tasks.
Should you prioritize stable 60 FPS or a higher frame rate?
Choose the frame rate that remains most consistent in demanding scenes. A stable cap avoids abrupt fluctuations while moving.
Which brightness should you choose in dark areas?
