Why Deathloop can trigger motion sickness

First person puts the camera at eye level, and head bob moves it with every step. Arkane lists Headbob as a gameplay option from 0 to 100, and camera motion blur and depth of field as advanced visual settings. bit-tech reports a field of view range of 65 to 110 degrees on PC. Can I Play That reported in October 2021 that motion blur was missing from the PlayStation build, so console players should check their own menu.

  • Head bob while you move, which is adjustable from 0 to 100
  • Camera motion blur in the advanced visual settings
  • First-person movement and combat across the island
