Graphics settings & presets
Over the Hill ships five graphics presets. This is exactly what each one turns on or down — so you can see what to drop for more frames, or what your preset is already giving you.
Desktop default · Ultra
On PC the game starts on its highest preset.
Steam Deck default · High
The game auto-selects a lighter preset on Deck.
