The original Little Nightmares was a highly acclaimed title that impressed many gamers, but it is eight years old as of this writing. However, Bandai Namco has developed and released an Enhanced Edition of the game to address the old graphics. This has significantly enhanced Little Nightmare’s visuals and even added ray tracing.

Unfortunately, the default settings in the game are not suitable for PCs with older GPUs and lead to poor performance. However, with some tinkering with the game settings, we were able to regain a lot of lost performance. With our optimized settings, Little Nightmares runs a lot better.

Final Thoughts

You can also enable ray tracing in newer Nvidia GPUs, such as RTX 40 or 50 series cards, and still maintain good performance. On the AMD side, you can enable one or two ray tracing effects, but if you apply all the effects, you will get horrible performance. You can also combine RT with FSR upscaling to regain some of the lost performance.
