The right settings depend first on which edition you own. For The Wolf Among Us Remastered on PC, Telltale’s published starting points are Low at 1080p for a listed 30 FPS target on minimum-tier hardware, or High at 1080p for a listed 60 FPS target on recommended-tier hardware. Those are publisher targets, not guaranteed or independently measured frame rates. The original 2013 PC game has different requirements and a documented fullscreen black-screen workaround. On console, no sourced performance-mode menu or per-console resolution and frame-rate table establishes settings to change.
Which edition of The Wolf Among Us do you have?
Check the product title before changing settings: the original The Wolf Among Us and The Wolf Among Us Remastered are separate editions, and their PC requirements should not be treated as interchangeable. The original launched on PC in 2013. The Remastered digital release arrived on October 29, 2026, with its own published PC hardware tiers and a switchable Noir Mode.
Both editions include the five-episode story, according to Telltale’s original and Remastered Steam listings. The key settings distinction is that Telltale published Low and High hardware targets specifically for the Remastered PC release; those targets do not establish what frame rate the original game will achieve on a particular computer.
- Original PC: Use a display mode and resolution that work correctly on your system. The archival Telltale support FAQ documents a windowed-mode workaround for a fullscreen black screen.
- Remastered PC: Match your computer to Telltale’s listed minimum or recommended tier, then use the corresponding Low or High starting point.
- Console: Choose the edition and presentation you want. Available sources do not establish a console graphics menu with performance and quality presets.
The game’s story choices are a separate consideration from graphics settings. Telltale says defining choices made in Remastered can carry into The Wolf Among Us 2 when you sign in to a Telltale Account. The company also says people new to the sequel can establish prior choices without playing Remastered. That statement does not confirm that an original-edition save can be imported into Remastered, or that choices transfer between platforms.
What are the best settings for The Wolf Among Us Remastered on PC?
Start with the tier that best matches your PC. Telltale’s Remastered Steam requirements list a 1080p, 30 FPS target on Low for minimum-tier hardware and a 1080p, 60 FPS target on High for recommended-tier hardware. These are listed targets, not an independent performance test or a guarantee that every system meeting the specifications will hold the stated frame rate.
| Published tier | Operating system | Processor | Memory | Graphics card | Listed target |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Windows 10 | Core 2 Quad Q6600 or Phenom II X4 910 | 8 GB RAM | GeForce GTX 470 with 1 GB or Radeon HD 5870 with 1 GB | Low, 1080p, 30 FPS |
| Recommended | Windows 11 | Core i3-8100 or Ryzen 3 2300X | 8 GB RAM | GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4 GB or Radeon RX 6400 with 4 GB | High, 1080p, 60 FPS |
Source and date: Telltale’s Remastered Steam system-requirements listing, 2026. The target figures are publisher-listed targets. They are not a measured result for every PC at or above the listed hardware.
How should I choose Low or High?
Use Low as the starting point if your hardware is closer to the minimum tier; choose High if it is closer to the recommended tier. Compare the whole configuration rather than relying on one component alone: Telltale’s tiers specify an operating system, processor, memory and graphics card together.
If play is uneven on your system, lower the quality setting rather than assuming that the recommended target will be met. The published requirements do not name additional graphics toggles or an upscaler, so there is no source-backed basis here for prescribing particular options, resolutions beyond the listed 1080p targets, or a custom frame-rate cap.
The two rows are useful reference points, not a guarantee that a PC must fall neatly into one of them. A system that is older than the recommended processor but has a graphics card at or above the listed model, for example, does not match the whole recommended tier. Likewise, meeting the listed graphics memory amount alone does not establish that the rest of the PC will reach the High target. Check the processor, graphics card, RAM and operating system together, then use your actual experience to decide whether to keep High or move down to Low.
If you are choosing between the tiers and cannot tell which is closer, the conservative approach is to begin at Low, observe how the game runs, and try High if performance is steady and you prefer that presentation. This is a practical way to use the published presets, not a claim that the game includes a particular benchmark, automatic hardware detector or list of extra graphics sliders. Telltale’s listed target is 1080p for both tiers; the requirements do not establish targets for other resolutions.
What do the 30 FPS and 60 FPS targets mean?
The 30 FPS figure belongs to the minimum-tier Low target, while 60 FPS belongs to the recommended-tier High target. Read them as the publisher’s stated aims for those configurations and settings. They are not independently measured results, and they do not promise that every computer with matching or newer parts will maintain that rate in all situations.
Do not use these Remastered figures to predict the original PC game’s performance. The editions have different published specifications, and no tested original-game maximum frame rate, universal V-sync state or high-refresh behavior is established here. If you are troubleshooting or comparing a specific computer, first verify the edition and then make changes only within the options that edition actually exposes.
What settings should I use in the original PC edition?
For the 2013 original, use your display’s native resolution and fullscreen if the game displays correctly. The original edition’s storefront specifications are not a Remastered preset guide, and they do not establish a universal maximum frame rate, V-sync setting or high-refresh behavior.
The store listings differ on the original game’s minimum memory requirement. Steam lists 3 GB RAM minimum and 4 GB recommended; Epic lists 4 GB minimum. Attribute those figures to their respective storefronts rather than combining them into a single universal specification. Both storefronts warn against Intel integrated graphics. Steam also says its client supports Windows 10 and later; that client statement is separate from older operating-system versions shown in the game’s historical specifications.
These original-game memory figures should not be substituted for Remastered’s 8 GB RAM listing. Conversely, Remastered’s 8 GB minimum does not retroactively change the original edition’s older storefront listing. The specifications refer to different editions and were published in different contexts. When checking whether your computer is suitable, use the listing for the exact game you own rather than treating one set of requirements as an update to the other.
For the original edition, the practical display recommendation is simple: native resolution and fullscreen when the image works. If fullscreen produces a black screen, follow the documented workaround below. There is no established recommendation here to force an unsupported refresh rate, use a particular V-sync setting, or pursue a frame rate above a stated cap; no such cap or universal behavior is confirmed by the storefront information.
How do I fix a black screen in fullscreen?
If the original PC game opens to a black screen in fullscreen, Telltale’s archival support FAQ recommends trying windowed mode, setting the game to your display’s native resolution, and then switching back to fullscreen. This is a troubleshooting procedure from an older support post, not a universal fix or a verified procedure for Remastered.
- Press Alt-Enter to switch the original game into windowed mode. Telltale Community support moderator DjNDB’s FAQ specifically suggests this key combination.
- Open the game’s display settings and select your display’s native resolution.
- Switch back to fullscreen and check whether the image displays correctly.
If the screen remains black, the cited FAQ does not establish another guaranteed fix. Keep the game windowed if that allows you to play, and do not assume the archival advice applies to the Remastered edition.
The order matters: first use the key combination to reach a visible window, then set native resolution from the in-game display options, and only then try fullscreen again. Telltale’s FAQ says, “Please try pressing Alt-Enter to put the game into windowed mode.” That wording is a suggested first troubleshooting step, not a promise that the shortcut or the full sequence will resolve every black-screen problem on every modern PC.
If you have Remastered rather than the 2013 original, do not assume this older FAQ applies. It was posted as original-game support advice and does not verify a Remastered fix. The sensible distinction is to use the procedure only for the original edition and to check current support information for the specific edition if the issue persists.
Should I use Noir Mode in Remastered?
Choose Noir Mode for a monochrome detective-film presentation, or leave it off for the Remastered color look and its neon palette. Telltale describes the option as a presentation switch: “With one tap, switch between Noir Mode and the fully remastered look at any time.”
Noir Mode is not documented as a performance preset. There is no evidence in the cited product information that switching to monochrome raises frame rate or changes the game’s resolution, so choose it for appearance rather than as a graphics-performance fix.
If you are undecided, begin with the full-color remastered look: it preserves the neon palette, while Noir Mode is available to switch to when you want the monochrome detective-film style. Because Telltale says the mode can be changed at any time, you can choose based on which look you enjoy rather than treating the choice as an irreversible setup decision. The option is a visual preference, not a substitute for selecting the PC tier that matches your hardware.
Do not mistake the word “mode” for a console or PC performance preset. The product description identifies a switch between two presentations, but it does not say Noir Mode lowers graphics quality, boosts frame rate, changes resolution or serves as a low-spec option. Choose Low or High on PC based on the listed hardware tier, and choose Noir Mode based on the art style you want.
Does The Wolf Among Us have a performance mode on PS5 or Xbox?
No per-console resolution and frame-rate table or performance-versus-quality menu is established by the cited publisher and platform information. Avoid assuming that the game offers a “Performance Mode” at 60 FPS or a “Quality Mode” at native 4K: those specific console settings are not substantiated.
The Remastered PlayStation Store listing confirms a PS5 version, offline single-player play and DualSense vibration. The announced digital console availability also includes Xbox One, playable on Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. Those platform facts do not supply console-specific graphics settings.
For Remastered, the documented visual choice is Noir Mode versus the full-color remastered presentation. That choice concerns the look of the game, not a documented console performance setting.
In practical terms, there is no evidence-backed console setting to change between performance and image-quality priorities. If you are playing on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, do not map the PC High/Low tiers onto the console version: those are PC hardware targets, not console presets. The platform listing and backward-compatibility details identify where the game can be played, but do not state a console resolution, frame rate, graphics toggle or separate optimization menu.
The PS5 listing’s confirmation of offline single-player play and DualSense vibration describes supported play features, not image-quality controls. It is reasonable to use those details to identify the PS5 edition and its controller feature, but they should not be read as evidence of a particular performance level. The same caution applies to Xbox One running on Xbox Series X|S: backward compatibility is the stated availability path, not a promise of a Series-specific graphics mode.
Which platforms and editions are available now?
Telltale and PM Studios’ October 29, 2026 launch announcement lists digital Remastered versions for PC through Steam and Epic, PS5, and Xbox One. Xbox One is playable on Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. Availability can change, so check the relevant store for current regional listings.
- Switch: Not part of the October 29 launch. Telltale’s October 26 announcement moved the Switch version to an unspecified later date; the earlier October 8 announcement had included it.
- Physical copies: Original PS4 and Xbox One retail discs date from the original game’s 2014 release. Remastered physical editions are planned for early 2027, not confirmed as available at the October 29 digital launch.
Keep the edition clear when searching for a disc: a PS4 or Xbox One disc from the 2014 release is the original game, not a Remastered physical edition. Details for the planned Remastered retail editions may change before release.
For a digital purchase, the announced PC storefronts are Steam and Epic, while the Remastered console release includes PS5 and Xbox One. On Xbox Series X|S, the announced route is Xbox One backward compatibility. The Switch edition was removed from the October 29 launch timing and has no new date stated in the October 26 update, so treat it as a later release rather than a currently available version.
Telltale and PM Studios announced a US$24.99 digital list price for the Remastered launch, along with promotions subject to eligibility through November 12, 2026. Treat that as launch-period pricing information, not a permanent price or universal discount: the actual amount and any promotion can vary by storefront, region and eligibility. Check the listing for the platform and region you intend to use before buying.
If you are considering a physical copy now, a PS4 or Xbox One disc is the original 2014 edition. Confirm the edition, disc condition and platform compatibility details on the specific seller listing; no seller offer or condition has been verified here. The Remastered physical editions are planned for early 2027, with retail details still subject to change. Do not mistake a future plan for a currently purchasable remaster disc.
The original game is based on the Fables comics and takes place before their first issue, so the collected comics can be optional further reading if you want more of that world. They are not required to understand the game’s settings or change how it runs. A controller recommendation is not necessary for this guide: older controller guidance does not establish compatibility for every current controller model.
What extras are included in The Wolf Among Us Remastered?
Telltale lists five fully playable Lost Scenes, a gallery of more than 100 images, and over an hour of interviews among the Remastered extras. These are content additions, not graphics settings or performance measurements. The Lost Scenes and archival material may help distinguish the Remastered package from the original, but none of those figures indicates a frame-rate or resolution improvement.
Can choices carry into The Wolf Among Us 2?
Telltale says choices made in Remastered can carry into the sequel when you sign in to a Telltale Account. The company also says players new to the sequel can establish prior choices without playing Remastered. This is a statement about the sequel and account-linked choices; it does not establish save import from the original game into Remastered or cross-platform transfer.
Should I buy the original disc or wait for Remastered physical editions?
The available retail discs from the original game’s 2014 release are original PS4 and Xbox One editions. Remastered physical editions are planned for early 2027, rather than being available with the October 29, 2026 digital launch. If edition matters to you, read the product name carefully before purchasing and verify the actual listing’s condition and compatibility information.

The Bottom Line
For The Wolf Among Us Remastered on PC, use Low at 1080p as the listed 30 FPS starting point for minimum-tier hardware, or High at 1080p as the listed 60 FPS starting point for recommended-tier hardware; neither target is a guarantee. For the original PC edition, use native resolution and fullscreen if it displays correctly, and try the documented Alt-Enter windowed-mode procedure if fullscreen shows a black screen. On PS5 and Xbox, no sourced performance-mode menu or console resolution/FPS target is established. Choose Noir Mode for its monochrome look, not as an assumed performance boost.
