The Evil Within has been patched on Steam to enable players to turn off the letterboxing and play the game how it wasn’t intended by its creator Shinji Mikami.

The patch also enables those with powerful PCs to turn on a 60 frames per second cap, doubling the possible framerate over the previous 30fps cap.

Patch Notes:

  • Frame lock settings added- In settings, you can now toggle between a 30 FPS and 60 FPS cap.
  • Letterbox setting- UI toggle to disable the letterbox bars
  • Fixes gameplay issues when running at >30 FPS
  • Fixes for visual issues associated with removing letterbox framing
  • Achievements now work when console is enabled
  • Fix for game starting in windowed mode on first run
  • Minor localization fixes
