Game Freak’s Beast of Reincarnation has been one of my favorite games of 2026, but it does have a few technical issues and some questionable design choices. One of those is the use of film grain, with no in-game option to disable it.
Thankfully, if you’re playing Beast of Reincarnation locally on PC, and not through Nvidia GeForce Now, there is a way to turn the film grain off. Since Beast of Reincarnation runs on Unreal Engine 5, the process is pretty simple and is similar to what you can do with many other games running on the engine.
Here’s how to do it.
How to Disable Film Grain
Open Windows File Explorer, type the following into the address bar, and press Enter:
%localappdata%
You’ll be taken to a directory containing a large number of folders. Find the Beast of Reincarnation folder and open it.
From there, navigate through the following folders:
Beast of Reincarnation → Saved → Config → Windows
Inside, you’ll see a file called GameUserSettings.ini. Leave that file alone.
Instead, create a new text file in the same folder and name it:
engine.ini
Make sure Windows hasn’t saved it as Engine.ini.txt.
Open Engine.ini and add the following:
[SystemSettings] ; Disable Film Grain r.FilmGrain=0 r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
Save the file and launch Beast of Reincarnation. The film grain should now be disabled.
You Can Also Disable Chromatic Aberration
While you’re editing the Engine.ini file, you can also disable chromatic aberration if you’d rather have a cleaner image.
Simply add the following underneath the film grain settings:
; Disable Chromatic Aberration r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
Your completed Engine.ini file should look like this:
[SystemSettings] ; Disable Film Grain r.FilmGrain=0 r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0 ; Disable Chromatic Aberration r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
Save the file, start the game, and both film grain and chromatic aberration should now be disabled. Unfortunately, this method won’t work if you’re playing through Nvidia GeForce Now since you don’t have access to the game’s local configuration files.
