While the Xbox Series X is the more powerful console on paper, with early testing of games there are many titles that perform better on the PS5. Microsoft is now looking to find a solution for this.
The Verge reports that Digital Foundry has researched some new games on both the PS5 and Series X, which has nearly 2 teraflops more than the PS5. Where it was expected that Xbox would perform better, PS5 seems to do better in many cases.
In Devil May Cry 5, the Xbox Series X has better performance in 4K and ray tracing modes, but the higher frame rate option runs better on the PS5, with a difference of 40fps.
“The dips look very strange to me and it seems like the API is being throttled and the Xbox GPU is held back by something,” says Digital Foundry editor Richard Leadbetter.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which Xbox even has a marketing deal with, also runs smoother on PS5. The Xbox Series X version suffers from screen tearing, and frame rate dips below 60fps.
The same applies to Dirt 5, where image quality and resolution are better on the PS5. Dirts developer Codemasters already responded to this, saying a fix is in the works.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War runs better on the Xbox Series X in ray tracing performance mode, but better on the PS5 in 120fps mode.
The question is why this happens in multiple games. Certain developers spoke to The Verge, saying it may be because developers were not able to submit games for Xbox until June, when they had the PS5 dev kits well in advance.
So it doesn’t seem to be platform specific, but an issue with developers who didn’t have enough time to optimize their titles for Xbox Series X. Microsoft admitted this issue, and promises to work with developers to overcome the complications. to solve.
“We are aware of the performance issues in certain titles on the Xbox Series X | S and are actively working with our partners to identify and resolve them and ensure players have an optimal experience,” said a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement. statement to The Verge. “As we embark on a new generation of consoles, our partners are only touching the surface of what next-gen consoles can do and minor bug fixes are expected as they learn how to take full advantage of our new platforms. waiting to take full advantage of the Xbox Series X | S in the future. ”
The Xbox Series X has certain advantages over the PS5, such as VRR and full AMD RDNA2 support, but many developers need time to take advantage of this.
