Any recent games where waiting some time after launch hasn't been necessary to get the best/actual/developer intended performance/technical stability?

What AAA games have launched with zero technical/performance issues in recent memory?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Maligned for other reasons, DA: Veilguard was probably the smoothest launch for an AAA game in years.

Concord barely had any performance/technical issues. None that I can think of.
It had lots of other issues, obviously. Lol

As far as I am aware (i did not play), Spider Man 2 was pretty much fully playable.

Black Ops 6 Ive had 0 issues with although I didn’t finish the campaign and am playing on a 4090. Tekken 8 too.

Haven't played it but I remember being surprised at how confident the devs seemed about the performance. Also surprised how early it went gold (at least is seemed early)
Interesting. All sequels in established franchises from studios with decent experience with their games/engines.
Although I guess Dead island 2 did change dev hands a few times

Framerate in that game was far from "zero problems".
It was a miracle on switch, but hardly perfect.

Dragon Age Veilgard
Dead Island 2
Space Marines 2
Ghost of Tsushima PC release
Don’t really follow AAA games a whole lot, so no idea what else.

There were a fair few white block spiderman videos floating around amongst other bugs.
On PC at least there were the DirectX error crashes that I saw a couple of times personally.

Most Sony games, Astro Bot, Demon Souls, Spiderman 2, GT7, God of War Ragnarok, only Forbidden West had some iffy IQ issues in performance mode.
Probably a benefit if focusing on only PS5 and maybe PS4.

Are we talking about 'bugless' games or playable games? These are two VERY different things.

Dragon Age Veilguard lmao.
The only issue it had was that the cpu utilization was too good. It was running my CPU at almost 180 watts.
Black Myth is good too. Astro bot is perfect.

Astro Bot had no issues I could see at launch. Also Black Ops 6 multiplayer worked with no issues on release day for me (PS5).

Armored Core was clean.

Let me tell you about a world of 1st party games on a little thing called consoles.
To the OP, most games from Nintendo and Sony, some games from MS.

The most bizzarre use of cpu for a game with barely any physics whatsoever or larger number of ncps on screen.
Hairs tech can't be the culrpit here, it's nowhere as advanced as i thought before playing the game.

Gravity Rush 2 was released without a patch, full game on disc, Free DLC and no need to be online.
Quite a wonder.

Nope, their blind clickers like enemies were completely bugged at launch so you could kill em in stealth even if they were 1 cm from each other (it was literally impossible to get caught) an entire big section of the game only has these enemies so it was completely ruined (and completely ruined the survival horror ammo economy from that point forward).
Also the game had terrible stuttering at launch on ps5, not solved even after 3 patches, i finished the game before they eventually fixed it.

its a bug. i capped my wattage to 120 watts and see zero issues with performance.

you are not remember correctly.
PS5 version was indeed polished because a lot of Sony xDev devs worked on it. But PC version was straight up broken at launch since they forgot to do the pre-compilation step.
On Xbox it was straight up broken at launch with no RT reflections, and drops to 20 fps.
it was fixed within 2-3 weeks so if you bought it early on you probably didnt see any of those issues.

Polished my ass, at least at launch, i had more stuttering with callisto on ps5 than dead space remake on pc.

Astrobot for this year.
Not really recent but i remember TLOU2 was released clean af as well back then during covid. i was honestly impressed. (counting the day one patch of course)
For a game that detailed, it was surprising.

I kinda hope so considering its remaster of a 360 game with extra content
Then again their last two remasters (sonic origins and sonic colors) launched with serious bugs soooo i stand corrected

Ghosts of Tsushima on PC played flawlessly for me. It was my first Sony port to buy and I was very impressed with it's features and optimizations.
Nixes? I do like the work ya do.

(That's the benefits of mostly targeting a single platform)
Edit: just to be clear, I was talking about games on the respective consoles, not PC ports

Not on pc, the game had (not sure if still has) problem with steam input so many people (like me) weren't even able to shoot their bows at random moment, disabling steam input didn't worked for everyone.Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.
Also the volume of the cutscenes was super low compared to the rest of the game but they fixed this one already.
Not groundbreaking bugs in theory, but it forced me to use a fucking dual sense (that somehow didn't had the problem as often as other controllers) in a game where i have to aim with super precision and with zero auto-aim against super aggressive enemies that can oneshot me (i hate symmetrical sticks) so it was somehow more detrimental than any visual\ai bug i had in 82 hours of cyberpunk pc at launch ironically enough.

Really? I remember it being pretty much a locked 30 but dipping momentarily when you activate a power.
Either way, when you consider the world and physics engine, it’s a technical marvel.

Runs amazingly well on the PS5 since day 0.
As much as I loved returnal, that one was rough. Had multiple times were room doors were locked and I had to restart my whole run…. Overall though sony is usually pretty good.
