When you are considering investing New gaming consoles there are some important factors you need to consider before dropping a few hundred of your hard-earned dollars. While some people think that exclusive titles are the most important, you should actually pay attention to the third-party games that you’ll be playing most of the time. PS5 and Xbox Series X Beyond the pure processing power of each console, you also need to consider which console will run the game better.
It goes without saying that the same game can be experienced dramatically differently depending on how it’s run. A low frame rate, low resolution, or both can quickly ruin even the best game. So far this generation, Not only is the PS5 in the lead Not only does it excel with exclusive titles, but it also better runs games available on both systems, putting the Xbox Series X to shame. If you have the option to play on either system, or you want some examples of why you might buy a PS5 over an Xbox, here are some games that run much better on the PlayStation.
1 Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0
Save the frame
Ask any hardcore shooter fan how important a stable frame rate is, and they’ll tell you it’s number one, number two, and number three. Warzone, which combines the tense action of Call of Duty with the high-risk thrills of Battle Royale, may be the most skill-dependent game in the genre. However, skill alone can only go so far when the console drops frames. While both systems can maintain a stable 60 FPS, serious players will use the 120 FPS mode to really dial in their aim. Unfortunately for Xbox players, you just can’t sustain that many frames without drops. The only thing worse than a bad frame rate is an inconsistent frame rate, so the PS5 has a clear advantage in this regard.
2 Resident Evil 4
Xbox is lagging
Resident Evil 4 offers a number of graphics and performance modes to choose from, but when you pit the two consoles against each other in performance mode with ray tracing on, the PS5 blows the Xbox away. For example, in the village scene, you can experience the terror of the whole town attacking you with pitchforks at a smooth 60fps, with only a frame or two dropped during moments of confusion. However, the Series X only manages to get up to 50-55fps, sometimes dropping to as low as 45fps. This is genuine terror.
3 Skyrim Anniversary Edition
A complete 180 degrees
When Skyrim launched on the 360 ​​and PS3, the poor PlayStation version was nearly unplayable. It ran badly from the get-go, and the more saves you made, the longer the load times got. Two generations later, with the Anniversary Edition, things have been completely reversed. Not only does the PS5 run the game at true 4K resolution of 2840×2160 compared to the Series X’s Dynamic 4K, but the PS5 loads even faster. If you’ve played Skyrim, you know there are load times galore. Every time you enter a cave, a big city, or fast travel, you’re greeted with a loading screen. Even if you only save a second or two on one load, it can save you hours over the course of the game.
4 First descendants
PS5 will have even better FSR3
A new addition to the ranking is “The First Descendant.” Since it’s a free game, many players flocked to try this game, but anyone who tried it on Xbox might want to try it on PS5. This game uses the new FSR3 frame generation, a technology that adds frames to games that normally run slower. Unfortunately, for some reason, the Xbox Series X can’t use this technology as well as the PS5. In comparison, we found that the PS5 was over 10 frames per second faster than the Xbox version and looked better at the same time. Since it’s a large live service game with difficult bosses that require close teamwork, these frames could be the difference between life and death.
