As far as I know, no, no option.
Even with maximized window option. I know what you mean, having a choice would be good! It may come sometime....

I mean, why would you wanna do something else while watching a cutscene... and on another monitor no less (meaning you're not really "watching" a cutscene)? Makes no sense to me, that's why I'm asking.

Not hard to listen/see whats going on when checking mail or whatever. usually is just them sanding there talking so if you have a multi monitor setup your really not gonna miss anything

Well, this isn't a TV show, so... simply skipping "boring parts" if you wanna get to the point is always an option. And again, you cannot really tune into a dialog while reading something else.

The cut scenes are needlessly long so far in this game, and 80% of the content doesn't matter to the story, but you never know when the 20% that matters is gonna pop up. You can EASILY pay attention to dialog while doing things like answer a discord message. I do it in other games. I would also like to be able to do things while I wait for a machine to take 5011 years to move to where I can stealth kill it from a hiding spot. Game pauses on that too.

I'd love for there to be an option to not have the game pause when I tab out. I can go watch a video, or grab a drink or maybe do laundry while I wait for Aloy to get back on her feet after a knockdown.

Use "prevent window deactivation" function in the software DisplayFusion

Use Special K, it's a core feature of SK.

Window Management > Input/Output Behavior > Continue Rendering

It can also enable background gamepad input in games if you want to, for example, have Discord running on a different monitor and typing there while playing the game with a gamepad.

You'll need a newer version of SK than is on the website though, that's not fully compatible with this game.

I'm on the latest version of Special K and I cannot even run the game through it. If I start it via Steam it's fine but Special K doesn't work.
I also don't see Window Management as an option anywhere. Which is a shame!

For anyone who is curious, this is a premium feature according to their website.

That doesn't make any sense. Window Management's in the in-game control panel.

And as far as I know, SK works with all versions of this game now. If you use frame generation, you will need to use local injection, but that aside, there are no known issues.

SK's completely free, if you can just get it to work :) No premium features.

It just wouldnt boot up the game if I enabled SK to connect to it.
