The Trello board entry mentions misaligned smoke, zombie eye glow, and uranium glows when players' FOV is set higher than 80 on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Perhaps it's time to add clouds to the list. Become a Eurogamer subscriber and get your first month for £1 Get your first month for £1 (normally £3.99) when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
