Can Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous hit 60 FPS on the MacBook Pro M5 Max?

Yes: at 1440p Ultra it runs around 157 FPS.

On High, the MacBook Pro M5 Max gets about 167 FPS at 1440p and about 115 FPS at 4K in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. These are native figures.

Do these figures include MetalFX or ray tracing?

No. The headline figure is native resolution, no MetalFX and no ray tracing. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has no MetalFX on Mac. Ray tracing, where a game offers it, costs a lot of FPS on any Mac.

Not quite: it has an official macOS version, but built for Intel. On Apple Silicon it runs through Rosetta 2, built into macOS, with nothing else to install. Our figures already include that overhead.
