According to a post by an administrator on Bethesda Softworks’ official forums, upcoming horror game, The Evil Within, will run at 30 frames per second at an aspect ratio of 2:35:1 for all available platforms, including PC.
Fortunately, the administrator went on to add that PC gamers will be provided with debug commands detailing how one can go about altering The Evil Within‘s framerate and aspect ratio.
However, the admin stated that doing so is not recommended or officially supported, instead suggesting that players on PC play the game as it was designed and intended in order to get the best experience out of the game.

The Evil Within – 30 FPS/2:35:1 Aspect Ratio
You can read an excerpt from the administrator post on Bethesda’s forums detailing The Evil Within‘s PC performance below:
What’s the status on the game’s framerate and aspect ratio?
Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms. The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind. For PC players, we’ll provide debug commands on how you can alter the framerate and aspect ratio, but these commands and changes are not recommended or supported and we suggest everyone play the game as it was designed and intended for the best experience.
Does the game support 4K resolution?
Yes. The engine can go even higher if you’ve got a monitor and video card that supports it.
Can I disable the letterboxing?
The letterboxing (a 2:35:1 aspect ratio) is used for gameplay purposes, as certain elements display in the black areas of the screen. On PC, you can turn off the bars and force the game to render full-screen. However this option is not supported. We’re keeping the ability to turn off bars as a console-only command that we will share at launch
How can I turn on the debug console?
There will be a command-line option to enable the console. More at launch.
What can I do with the debug console?
Gameplay cheats, as well as advanced camera controls will all be available via console commands. More to come!
The Evil Within is being directed by Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami, developed by Tango Gameworks, and published by Bethesda Softworks.
The game is slated to release on October 14th in both North America and Europe, and October 16th in Australia. The game will be on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC.
