The versions tested were 1.6.0.95 on Xbox Series consoles and 1.60 on PS5. There may be time of day variance in some clips.

PS5 uses a dynamic resolution with the highest native resolution found being 2880x1620 and the lowest resolution found being approximately 1824x1026. Pixel counts at 1824x1026 seem to be rare on PS5. PS5 uses temporal upsampling that can reconstruct a 2880x1620 resolution when rendering natively below this resolution.

Xbox Series X uses a dynamic resolution with the highest native resolution found being 3840x2160 and the lowest resolution found being 2432x1368. Native resolution pixel counts at 3840x2160 seem to be rare on Xbox Series X. Xbox Series X uses temporal upsampling that can reconstruct a 3840x2160 resolution when rendering natively below this resolution.

Xbox Series S uses a dynamic resolution with the highest native resolution found being 1920x1080 and the lowest resolution found being 1280x720. Xbox Series S uses temporal upsampling that can reconstruct a 1920x1080 resolution when rendering natively below this resolution.

In some cases the resolution difference between PS5 and Xbox Series X can be smaller than the difference between the highest and lowest resolutions found. As an example, at one point during the cutscene at 1:45 PS5 is rendering at approximately 2400x1350 and Xbox Series X is rendering at approximately 2716x1528.

Without even looking at the results

[ParaSeoul]

Much more stable on PS5.

Cloth physics in the game update at 30hz.

Looking at that and the game average resolution on XSX and PS5 does not look like a high effort patch. It is a minor patch on the BC version of the games :/…

 

[Swift_Star]

Seems fine on both consoles.

 

[TVexperto]

how please update ac unity

 

[Bojji]

how please update ac unity

It's 60 fps on series x but still in 900p

 

[Mr. Banana]

given the noticeable difference in resolution and only 0.54% difference in frame rate, Xbox seems to me the best option.

 

[Topher]

Looks great on my PS5. I'm looking forward to doing some direct comparisons with my XSX when it comes out on Game Pass.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks and runs fantastic on SX.

4K/60 FPS, quick resume and load times a fraction of what they were on last gen.

And coming to Game Pass in 2 days for even more folks to play.

Yep, it's literally just an FPS unlock patch. There's absolutely nothing else done on the game. This is just BC with an FPS boost.

Got to bump that game pass at every given opportunity.

 

[arvfab]

1.60 on PS5

Sounds like it's still a BC title on PS5 if this is the update version.

 

[HTK]

Let's not piss around these small differences, Xbox and PlayStation folks I'm sure you'll have a good time on either platform.

 

[Mr Moose]

Outside of cutscenes its pretty much locked everywhere. Some issue with the bird view on Series consoles in some areas but other times not, bit weird but not a big deal.
Looks decent enough on Series S from what I've seen.

Sounds like it's still a BC title on PS5 if this is the update version.

It's BC on both.

 

[arvfab]

It's BC on both.

Yes. But this also means that PS5 is probably capped at PS4 Pro resolution, otherwise highest would be native 4k.

 

[Swift_Star]

Got to bump that game pass at every given opportunity.

It's going to be on new PS+ too só gamepass is becoming less appealing at this point.

 

[Mr Moose]

Yes. But this also means that PS5 is probably capped at PS4 Pro resolution, otherwise highest would be native 4k.

Yeah it's just a 60fps cap now, don't think they changed anything else. I think some other BC games have increased res on PS5 over the Pro version, but this looks like a super quick update.

How else do you think I keep getting the free subs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

He's got a family to feed.

/s

 

[Sleepwalker]

My SX is ready. I picked up the game and the DLC I think december last year lol, after being hooked by oddyssey. glad I waited to play this

 

[Corndog]

Looks like they all use v-sync.

Yeah, the season pass is at $40 right now (which is fucking ridiculous) but it often goes on sale, I got it for $14.99 a few weeks back on a sale in anticipation of this patch.

 

[Dick Jones]

But from reading the God of War PS+ I thought old games that went on sale for a tenner are rubbish. Now it's great business.

Not naming names but someone is earning their Xbox branded socks in this thread. You deserve it buddy!

 

[Black_Stride]

Much more stable on PS5.

99.86% vs 99.32% vs 99.58%

 

[Doctor Hades]

Framerate drops lower on XSX but if you have a capable TV then VRR will do its magic. VRR does not work on PS5 currently for back-compat games, unfortunately, so there is no way to mitigate the inevitable stutters on the Sony version.

pretty sure I paid 10 or so. definitely worth it at that point.

[Arioco]

Night and day difference, no doubt.

 

[jezhumphrey75]

higher res on sx?

 

[Arioco]

higher res on sx?

But frame rate is king. I read it on GAF.

 

[DenchDeckard]

0.5 percent framerate advantage vs what resolution advantage?

Someone do the math.

If x (framerate is king) to the negative of z (resolution advantage) multiplied by the power of fanboyism equals the result of "ANOTHER ONE!"

 

[jezhumphrey75]

But frame rate is king. I read it on GAF.

whatever ps5 wins is king on Gaf.

 

[nominedomine]

720p in a 2022 port of an last gen game? Another one.

As for the current gen consoles, the Series X is designed around having higher res specially in old games, no surprises here.

Too bad this gen is all about framerate, Cerny offering a superior experience, with VRR suport, for $100 less. I wouldn't expect any less from the creator of Knack.

[Lysandros]

As for the current gen consoles, the Series X is designed around having higher res specially in old games, no surprises here.

The difference in resolution in this title is due to different BC/API implementations between the machines, nothing to do with hardware design. The game on PS5 is confined to PS4 PRO configuration besides the FPS unlock.

So, as I've mentioned, designed to run old game at higher resolution because of how BC works on Xbox Series X. That's where it gets most of it's "wins".

PS5 usually does a lot better when not held back by the PS4 Pro or the way it handles BC titles.

What we need are proper current gen only games comparisons. What we have so far are pretty much two years of old gen comparisons, including a bunch of BC comparisons, a big waste of time.

You sound like a GamePass Xbox ambassador

 

[Boss Mog]

Just to clear things up for people that might read incorrectly into these results. Both the PS5 and Series X are running the game in back-compat mode. The PS5 is limited to 1620p because that was the upper limit on the PS4 Pro version. The Series X achieves 2160p because that was the upper limit on the XB1 X version.

 

[lh032]

ps5 wins again it seems

 

[Topher]

Really don't see what there is to "win". This is a rehash of PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X but with 60fps.

Oh look Sub 1080p on ps5 aNoThER OnE

Who gives a fuck it's temporally upscaled and is rare. They all perform fine and look fine for the platforms.

 

[Black_Stride]

1620p is larger than 2160p?
Did your dyslexia act up again cuz they both have 1,2,6 and 0 you thought the smaller one 1620p was better than the larger one?

 

[Kerotan]

Most Xbox owners have a series S. So in most cases yes major victory for the ps5.

Most Playstation owners dont have a PS5 so in most cases major victory for go fuck yourself.



jk.
Series S owners dont give a damn about playing at 4K if they did they wouldnt have gotten a Series S.
Its a victory for them simply that the game has a steady 60fps and is on Gamepass.
But lets keep moving dem goalposts.

 

[Doctor Hades]

The only disappointment with these 60 fps updates of back-compat games is that you lose the option to play at 30 fps and have a locked 4K (or 1620p) resolution, which is how the game ran before the patch. There really should be an option to toggle between the two in my opinion for people to choose between better image quality or better framerate.

 

[Black_Stride]

How dare you disarm me with Anya!

I guess peace must be had:

 

[Snake29]

If these BC games are the only wins you can get on your tower of power...a bit of a weird flex and sad.
