How Silicon Studio is making PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games even more beautiful

The one thing that we all expect from next-generation video games is better visuals. New home consoles are supposed to mean better graphics. One of the companies leading the way to ensure that this is still the case is developer Silicon Studio with its Yebis 2 post-effect middleware.

Middleware like Yebis 2 is a software solution that developers can pop into their game engines without much effort. In the case of Silicon Studio’s product, it provides a suite of visual tricks, options, and settings that improve and alter visuals and lighting. These enhancements are called post-effects because a programmer can flip a switch to implement an effect on an otherwise finished game.
