Nope. But oddly only when Xbox is below PS5 DF count it as a bug.

You see, Fallen Order and Hitman 3 that were victories for Xbox weren't listed as bug, but I can't remember a single victory for PS5 that they didn't suspect of bugs and even after several patches those more or less are still in favor of PS5 just as at the release.

Maybe because there was no evidence of a bug on PS5 in those cases. For instance PS5 running Hitman 3 at 1800p instead of 4K was clearly a conscious choice by IOI, I'm guessing because they wanted a locked 60 fps on PS5 since it doesn't have VRR currently like Xbox does, whereas they were ok with a few frame drops on certain levels on Series X since it has VRR support. 

In this instance, there is clear evidence of a bug, just like there was with Dirt 5. Series X has severe frametime spikes that don't appear to be hardware related. And indeed, Remedy responded and suggested it is a bug that they plan to patch. 

Dirt 5, AC and several other cases had all the look of conscious choices that the patch had to reduce some other aspect of the game to compensate, still DF gone with bug even if it was 100% occurence (versus CoD being occassional).
