The Photosensitive Mode is an accessibility option added in Patch 1.04.00 under Settings > Accessibility. It reduces high-frequency flashing, intense strobing, and other visual triggers in combat, status effects, and cutscenes for players who are photosensitive or who experience discomfort from rapid contrast shifts. It ships alongside the Colorblind Mode palette adjustment and the Chromatic Aberration toggle.
What It Reduces
Strobe-style attack telegraphs. Boss tells that previously used rapid red flashes are smoothed into longer, lower-contrast indicators.
Skill activation flashes. Heavy whiteout effects on signature abilities are dampened.
Lightning and arc-electric VFX. Frequency of repeated flicker frames is reduced without removing the underlying visual.
Cutscene inserts that use rapid camera cuts paired with bright flashes. The mode mutes the brightness peaks while keeping the timing intact.
How to Enable
Open Settings, navigate to Accessibility, and toggle Photosensitive Mode. The mode is independent of the other accessibility options, so it can be enabled by itself or stacked with Colorblind Mode and the Chromatic Aberration toggle.
