This is a BC mode patch, Xbox series X will always win those. We have seen this in Star wars: the jedi order, Cyberpunk and Mass effect remake will probably be next.

It's digitalfoundry speculation that something went wrong with the PS5 patch, we don't know that.

When the PS5 has even less visual features than the PS4 Pro, we can safely say we DO know that something went wrong with the patch.

Either that of PS5 BC would be complete dog shit in every game, but that isn't the case (even though XSX BC performs better overall).

Looks like a pattern is emerging. BC upgrades almost always favor Xbox. Next gen/cross gen releases favor PS5 but that pendulum is starting to swing with Hitman 3.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I could understand the comparisons with the 360 vs PS3 and XB1 vs PS4 however this gen, their is no winner. Its just which game gets patched first or who spends more time optimizing their version etc. I still love Digital Foundry and ill continue to watch it as they are the best when it comes to insight info etc. But comparing versions mean little these days, too many lazy devs to take this serious.

Series x will always win when just utilising raw horse power. Only exclusives will matter.

Was patched on PS5 to add in the missing Screen space reflections and volumetrics, but Xbox Series X still has better texture filtering (thanks to Microsoft's forced 16x filtering on all back compat games) and PS5 is still 1080-1890p dynamic compared to Series X 1800p-2160p dynamic. Load times also didn't really improve on PS5, still 15 seconds compared to 6 seconds on Series X.

Additionally, here are the results for Ghost Recon Breakpoint:

I see the trend of developers going for higher resolutions on the XSX continues. Has any developer decided to go for a higher resolution on the PS5 yet?

As much as comparing games these days isn't that important anymore due to the little differences between them these days. Comparing exclusives is not a thing due to you cannot compare a game that isn't released on the other hardware. Each game is built differently and when it comes to exclusives, we wont know how well it would run on another platform without actually seeing it.
