In order to enable performance mode on PS5, you have to go into PS5 settings, then Save Data and Game/App Settings. From here, go into Game Presets, where you can choose between Performance Mode or Resolution Mode. Performance Mode favours high frame rates and gives a smoother experience, whereas Resolution Mode leaves your game looking a bit better.
