Essential improvements
Skip intro videos
Right click Prey in the Steam library, click Properties, click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS, and add "-skipArkIntro" in the text box, including the quotes. This method only skips the Arkane and Bethesda logo sequences.
|
Manually remove/rename the intro videos[3]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\GameSDK\Videos\ .
- Delete or rename
ArkaneLogoAnim_Redux_1080p2997_ST-16LUFS.bk2 , Bethesda_logo_anim_white.bk2 , LegalScreens.bk2 , and Ryzen_Bumper.bk2 .
Notes
- Be careful; the names of other video files may contain spoilers.
|
Improve HUD/UI
Use Prey Interface Customizer
|
- Allows you to change the UI, HUD, notification sounds, disable motion blur, adjust image sharpening and add bindings for more actions.
|
Add missing lighting, shadows and reflections
Use Real Lights plus Ultra Graphics Mod
|
- Adds missing shadows, volumetric lights and fog, reflections, particle effects, sun flares, improved view distance(editable in-game via an advanced settings menu), parallax occlusion mapping, and persistent decals, among others.
- This mod is only for the main game, not the Mooncrash DLC.

Custom FPS cap[4]
|
- Open the game and make a change to any video setting.
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
game.cfg .
- Change
sys_MaxFPS = 144 to the desired FPS cap.
- Save the changes.
Notes
- Changing the value to
0 caps the frame rate at 60 FPS
- Alternatively, higher frame rates can also be achieved by turning on V-sync. This introduces some input lag, but the amount is very small at frame rates over 144.
|
Post-processing
Disable motion blur[5]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>.
- Create a file called
autoexec.cfg and open it with a text editor like Notepad.
- Add the line
r_MotionBlur = 0 and save the file.

Rebind weapon wheel manually in config file[6]
|
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\Prey\Profiles\default\
- Open
actionmaps.xml with Notepad.
- Look for the line
<actionmap name="player"> and paste the following code below it.
<action name="enter_focusmode">
<rebind device="keyboard" input="b" defaultInput="mouse3"/>
</action>
<action name="mouse_enter_focusmode">
<rebind device="keyboard" input="b" defaultInput="mwheel_up"/>
</action>
<action name="mouse_enter_focusmode">
<rebind device="keyboard" input="b" defaultInput="mwheel_down"/>
</action>
- In this example the weapon wheel is now remapped to B on your keyboard. This can be changed to your liking.
