What is field of view (FOV) and which setting should you pick?
Field of view (FOV) is how much of the game world the camera shows at once, measured in degrees. A wider view helps you spot things at the sides, but it also shrinks and stretches what you see.
Slide the FOV in the demo, see which objects pop in and out, and match it to your own screen size and distance. We also cover console defaults, PC sliders and what to change if a game makes you feel queasy.
