Awesome game but font size is horrible on PS5
As the title would suggest;
I own the game on PS5. Overall except the tutorial bugs I love the game (just my kinda theme with vehicle customization, kinda uncanny/scary setting, upgrades, on-foot exploration etc.) but one thing is making it very difficult to enjoy the game. The font size.

Yeah; I do have a permanent eye injuries (painful, dependent on treatetment and use of scaleral bandage lenses, antibiotics etc.) but I can still play most games at either default font size or increased font size on my PS5 without trouble.

Now Pacific Drive; subjectively to me one of the most interesting game releases over the past years; has tiny text on screen (especially for stuff like item desceiptions) and I can’t find a way to increase the size of the text.

When that happens; not only fo I have to ”squint” to play the game, but I (bacause of my illness) get (what I call) a ”Grey Vision” a.k.a ”Hazy-vision”.
Trying to read tiny text on screen long enough makes the entire thing look greyed-out to me (as if someone increased gamma too much) which in turn makes the text even more difficult to read, hence rinse & repeat; reducing the overall enjoyment of the game drastically.

Yeah, I am not special and you don’t have to cater to my medical condition just because I bought your game.
But honeslty; I was waiting for a game like this forever (vehicular horror game with on-foot and rpg elements, upgrades, customization, exploration with a bit of Twin Peaks mixed in etc) and it just kinda sucks not being able to enjoy the game as it was intended by the devs.
Hope you guys eventually can make some adjustments to increase the font size and make it more readable.
Just my two cents. PS! I still don’t regeet buying the game as it’s othwrreise so enjoyable and caters to my particular interests mentioned above).
Cheers!

Joining in on what has been said about font size, the text in the game is very small, so I have to get very close to the screen, but even then it's not always possible to see everything clearly

When using an xbox controller its fine. But using kb&m its tiny. Likely some kind of asset loading error
