Why Some Games Run Better on PS5 than XSX - IGN Daily Fix

In today’s gaming news: We have an explanation for why certain games run better on PS5 than Xbox Series X, July’s Game Pass lineup, and a beloved character that might be coming to Multiversus. This is your Daily Fix.

Is this the first time post merger that ign mentions DF directly?

Some games run better on PS while other games run better on XBX.

Simple.

It depends on what screen you're using, which the report clarifies. If you have a VRR-compatible panel, then you're more likely to see a better performance out of a Series X than a PS5 - at least that's been my experience of owning all three

[lukeyrs]

It’s the VRR and slightly higher resolution is the reason most games look and run slightly better on Series X.

[festering]

if only ps5 had backwards compatibility comparable to series x…

What the video failed to mention is that the XSX consumes up to 30% less power while performing very similarly. It's much more efficient. For me, that's very impressive.

Shut up IGN, that check from $ony must have been cashed, huh? Runs better on an inferior machine... that's the people making the game showing their biases. Games should work like this, you buy it, you put it in any machine you want to play it on and it plays, that's the way it should work

[toxicgracie]

This is gaslighting lmao. And honestly it's not even true for the most part. I'd say they're pretty even as far as 3rd party games go

If you really want o compare then conpare all unreal engine game

[Roach]

Now that IGN holds some shares in DF, DF has been elevated from “the guys at Digital Foundry” to the “the tech expert gods of knowledge and power at Digital Foundry” 😂

[manlimbu]

Sony only clour looks more vibrant ..And all unreal engine game runs better on series x then PS5...

[ktrotter]

Wouldn't it have made more sense for NX to cover this topic?

"Well son it aint the size of the boat its the motion in the ocean"😂😂

[Razear]

It's not just about the hardware. Optimization matters. A game with sloppy code can run worse on more powerful hardware than a well-optimized game on lesser hardware.

[ImViruxx]

The PS5 has a familiar API which game devs are more used with and the console is easier to develop for. Not to mention that there is only 1 PS5 version while game devs are forced to work with 2 Xboxes this gen.

[jermelpurse]

Odds are it’s focus odds are it’s literally 85% focus 15% compatibility for lack of a better word. If you know you’re going to sell 3x it’s been games here then over there. You focus on the platform where most people will see your product. Any company that didn’t do that would be foolish. Yes, I’m sure you can find certain scenarios where this game built this way will function better under this scenario, but in a drag race, you know pedal to the metal drag race no curves no corners one system is clearly more powerful than the other.

They don't!

Boot up fallout 3 on ps5(you can't) and boot on fallout 3 on Xbox series x.

We all know which version plays better!

[ninjaghostnote]

DF: "Games run faster on PS5, but we'd much rather play on XBX." 😂

Imagine trusting digital foundry for unbiased analysis

[WaxDat]

Seems Ponys are running out of talking points and goalposts to move😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
