Moving from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 5, the latest remake of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons deploys the new engine's Nanite and Lumen technologies to good effect. On PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, the outlook is respectable on its 30fps quality mode. However, the 60fps performance mode falls short, and proves a step too far in locking to the target - despite serious resolution drops on Series S.
