That's pretty remarkable given the effort that would be required. It's an across-the-board increase in frame costs -- rendering, audio, networking, and game thread, not to mention a fundamental change in the player experience. They must have done some serious crunch doing the absolute bare minimum work to get it up and running, even if the engineers quietly expected and architected for this all along.

They probably had it done before the game went gold, because it'd take way the heck too long to do it after the fact.
