Sniper Elite 4's PS4 Pro Frame Rate Reaches Double Xbox One's, Says Report

Sniper Elite 4 Pro.

Sniper Elite 4 is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC--but how do the consoles fare when running Rebellion's latest marksman sim?

Well according to Digital Foundry, the two consoles and Sony's upgraded hardware, PS4 Pro, perform quite differently. The site says that while PS4 Pro's frame rate is unlocked and mostly hangs around the 45-55 FPS region, the regular PS4 and Xbox One don't quite reach the same heights.

The standard PS4's frame rate is mostly contained within the 30-40 FPS marks, but Xbox One's can't get above 30. Sniper Elite 4 is capped at 30 on Xbox One, but Microsoft's console frequently dips below that mark, and even into the high teens in particularly demanding scenes.

All three consoles render at 1080p, says Digital Foundry--including the PS4 Pro at max settings, even when connected to a 4K TV. Otherwise, the three consoles broadly look the same, save for reduced texture pop-in on PS4 Pro. Check out Digital Foundry's full video above.

Developer Rebellion detailed Sniper Elite 4's PS4 Pro support earlier in February. The company said Sony's upgraded console would deliver an "enhanced frame rate, improved lighting, and faster loading times." Rebellion also revealed details about its game's season pass details--get the lowdown here.

In our Sniper Elite 4 review, we called the game "a natural progression for the series," which is now "living up to its long-standing potential." If you're curious about other critics' thoughts on the sniping game, check out this review roundup.

I just bought the game yesterday. Haven't played a Sniper Elite game since V2 on Wii U. Looking forward to it.

Stupid decision by the dev to run the game in 1080p on XBO if that affects the frame rate so much. How did they think resolution is more important than frames which drop below 20 from time to time?

And if even the PRO doesn't reach 60fps with 1080p, they did also a bad job on PS4 PRO. For a shooter there should be definitely a 60fps option on PS4 PRO.

Why even compare to Xbox at this point? Just compare PS4 to PS4 Pro. It's basically only competing with itself.

I hope that it would ps4p is a new system. Xbox scorpio will be 50% better than ps4p

Who cares ? I have OG PS4 and I am fully happy. 1080p30FPS or lower res 60 FPS is simply enough.
