Expect up to 4K visuals at 60fps and advanced rendering techniques that make the most of the Unreal Engine 4 feature-set, including ray tracing. The game offers multiple viewpoints to capture the feeling of sitting at the poker table as closely as possible, including a first-person action camera to truly immerse players in the game like never before. Poker has never looked so good!
