Branching Path: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion PC settings breakdown

by Scott White on 21 June, 2025

The original Daemon X Machina received a PC port about six months after its initial release on the Nintendo Switch. While it improved the frame rate and resolution, the PC version is generally found to be lacking when it comes to configuration settings to tweak. It lacks even basic mouse cursor support, requiring you to navigate the menus with the WASD keys to select your choice. Functional, yes, but far from optimal.

During IGN Live this year, I was able to spend a good chunk of time with the upcoming sequel Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, where I got to check out all sorts of new gameplay features and also dive into the settings. Luckily, the team has learned, and Titanic Scion looks to offer a treasure trove of sliders and toggles for PC players to play around with. This new game also offers a range of accessibility options, including adjustable UI elements, text, and colorblind options, among others.

Here are all the PC settings available in the demo. As this is a game still under development, it's possible that some slight changes may occur between this list and the settings available in the final release.
