Best Settings for Immersive Gamplay
Turn Off Minimap and HUD Tracking Icons
If you want an immersive gameplay experience, turning off the minimap and HUD tracking icons forces you to immerse into the world and use the landmarks in the world to navigate around. Important HUD elements such as the tool wheel, health, ancient magic meter, and spell loadout are still present for combat purposes.
You can use the Charmed Compass to show you a trail of golden lights if you need to track down a waypoint.
Optional: Turn off all HUD icons
You also have the option to turn off all HUD icons for the best immersive experience available. Note that the HUD icons will not appear if you enter in combat, so it is best to use this option when taking screenshots only.
Set Performance Mode to Fidelity with Raytracing
In the Settings Menu, you can find the option to change the game's performance mode. Setting the mode to Fidelity with Raytracing gives you the best settings for immersive gameplay.
Note that both Fidelity and Fidelity with Raytracing modes cap the game at 30 FPS. Performance mode gives you 60 FPS, although at the cost of lower graphics.

Lower Music Volume
To fully immerse yourself in the world, it is recommended to lower or disable the Music Volume. In the Settings Menu, choose Audio Options and set the Music Volume to zero.
