DF: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 vs Xbox Series X/ Series S - A Huge Improvement Over Last-Gen Consoles

Xbox with a big advantage in crowd density. They speculate that CDPR has put more effort into the Xbox version. Quality mode is probably the way to go.


Seems like waiting for the next gen patch is the way to go IMO.


Series S actually has higher res in performance mode than PS5 or XSX? Weird.
 
PS5 showed it is the most powerful hardware with better resolution and framerates.

Said that the game looks ridiculous bad in any console plus the bugs lol

PS5 has better performance and slightly higher resolution in performance mode.
So it's better in the mode that it's actually directly comparable.
XSX has the advantage of the quality mode at 30fps which, for some reason, is missing on PS5 (either because of BC limitations or simply more effort into the XSX version).
So until proper next gen versions this is the conclusion:

Xss dont have a performance mode, its 30fps
 
Man, the slow texture load-in on consoles is fucking criminal. Looks like early UE3 games.

Series S not using the One S settings, but Series X quality mode at a lower resolution (900p-1080p). Pretty much locked at 30fps. Good way to play the game, especially compared to last gen.
 
14:25 discusses the detail quality/density comparison on the performance modes between the two consoles.
 
John says go with the ps5 version for performance mode but the ps5 version has less people and cars than series x in performance mode.

That's stupid!

Crowd and cars is what makes it fascinating going around the city.
 
Glad I'm playing Series X at higher settings with VRR, that's the best 60fps experience. If you want the best visuals then Series X quality mode with higher settings and big resolution increase. Nice to have the choice.
 
Wonder how less populated the streets are on PS5? Haven't watched any footage. There are people everywhere on XSX. It's probably the most populated open world game I have played. Loads of cars on the road, too.
 
Considering the buggy mess the game is, and the weird backwards compatibility nuances involved on both machines, I don't think this is the best game to make comparisons when it comes to the relative worth of each console. CDPR isn't sending their best.

Obviously, if you have both consoles, it's helpful to know what your options are.

John says that there is a level of immersion on the PC version that the consoles lack, it feels bad in comparison

Glad he pointed that out. Usually in a big game like this the moment when you first step out into the city would be a "woah" moment. I haven't really gotten any of those moments in this game in 8 hours. It's playable on the newer consoles, but looks like an average last gen game.

How u doing with xsx running 1080p vs 1200p on ps5 and lower fps average than ps5 ? 😅. I thought u loved performance modes ?

Quite well, 1188p that drops compared to just 1080p, nobody seeing that in gameplay. Series X has the full atmosphere of a city with more people and traffic like it should be, plus I'm playing with VRR so get none of the framerate problems that both have😎

"By in large, the XSX does not hold as close to 60fps as the PS5 does during firefights."

They showed the same firefights and the PS5 was holding 60fps while XSX was dropping to the 40fps. Not only that, XSX drops hard during driving, literally stops for more than a second.

Performance mode is a big win for the BC side for PS5, XSX wins quality mode, but there's no option there for PS5 yet

BC limitations hurting PS5 here. But Xbox had the exclusive marketing so it's not unusual if they got more effort.
 
Series S comes out of this actually really well. Higher resolution than PS5, Series X Quality mode inclusions and a rock solid 30fps. Not bad at all!

Series X is the definitive way to play the game on console, with Quality mode.

PS5 sticks to 60 well, but has social distancing/quarantine mode on for crowd density and looks awful. Better wait for the patch on this one.
