Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint’s next-gen patch arrived recently and with it Digital Foundry has analysed the game, coming to the conclusion that the Xbox Series X version comes out on top over PS5.
In the analysis, Digital Foundry praised the game’s performance and graphics mode, stating that both hold impressive results on the next-gen systems. However, the Xbox Series X seems to hold a better resolution while also holding a steady 60 frames per second. Between the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, the resolution is said to jump from 1080p to 1440p in performance mode.
“Performance mode [on PS5] alters some settings, changing the ambient occlusion method - but in general it's a very similar visual setup. Series X on the other hand hits 60fps while rendering at a much higher dynamic 1440p. So that's 2560x1440 in performance mode max, though here we do see adjustments in resolution to hold the frame-rate steady - lowest being 2304x1296. There is some flexibility on Series X, but in general it's still pushing a much sharper picture than its PS5 counterpart.”
Resolution mode is also said to make a massive difference, too, with the Xbox Series X boasting a whopping 2160p, while the PS5 lags behind at 1440p.
“Dynamic 1440p on PS5 while Series X delivers 2160p is at odds with the system specifications and of course, our experiences with many other games. The notion that Series S' default mode matches PS5's resolution mode in image quality is also baffling: there's just the sense that Microsoft's cross-generation SDK tools offer up more options to developers and that it isn't a reflection on system capabilities. In my view, it makes sense to run Series X on this mode for visual purists - to see 4K30 if that's your tonic of choice.”
The next-gen update from Ubisoft also mimics the praise the Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 update received. Digital Foundry analysed that game as well, and found great results on the Xbox Series X. Seems like Ubisoft know what they’re doing when it comes to the Xbox Series X and S hardware!

Fist pump It's pretty clear that Xbox will be the king of multi-plats from here on out. I knew switching to Xbox was the right thing to do. I feel vindicated.
Nice, Another win for Xbox..
Another win for series x which is cool.
But I can’t be the only one getting fed up with old games being tarted up, when we are lacking some new AAA games.
Though I appreciate the division 2 upgrade.
@Insightful
Well that’s where my multiplatform games are on series x at the minute.
But we need some in house AAA that show off the series x, that’s were the real battle is won.
@Dezzy70
Halo... Starfield... Perfect Dark Reboot... Forza Motorsport Reboot... Bethesda exclusives...
Xbox will go toe-to-toe with PlayStation like never before and imho it will come out on top.
Just 2 weeks to go before I sell off all my PlayStation consoles and grab Series X.
So excited!
@Insightful
I appreciate the list but for me it’s just a list of potential future games, whenever they appear.
Hopefully as well as Halo this fall, they will have something else very big ready for release.
It certainly will be a good future battle, but from release date November 2020 until at least June 2021, exclusive games even if on PS4 as well as PS5 belong to Sony.
Have both next generation consoles so it’s cool with me.
@Dezzy70
I understand where you're coming from because Sony built up their reputation of goty winning exclusives throughout the PS3 and PS4 lifecycles but there's no denying Xbox is here to take it to Sony.
Bethesda speaks for itself as do the devs under Zenimax. Microsoft are top dog in so many aspects from value for money to mp to b/c and of course future exclusives.
I just can't see PlayStation staying on top for long.
Sony defense force is at full work on the site's comments and youtube, go and have a look if you want a good laugh
@Insightful if elder scrolls 6 is exclusive for xbox, ps5 is going to have a lot of issues to get on top.
AND if nintendo releases a 4k device late 2021/early 2022, then it's the end of the ps5
@Insightful
We got a Sony state of play this Thursday, should be interesting.
If you mean on top in terms of console sales, Sony will walk it 2:1 world wide. And I’m not a fanboy remember.
@Trainer
PS5 will outsell Series X/S. No doubt about it.
However, Xbox can close the gap up SIGNIFICANTLY if they continue on their current trajectory. In fact, Series X/S could topple 360 lifetime sales.
The generation after this one is when Xbox can outsell and possibly kill off PlayStation but that's a discussion for another day.
@Dezzy70
I just said to another dude (comment above this one) that PS5 will outsell Series X/S.
2:1? Nope. Xbox will close the gap up significantly. I expect Series X/S to sell around 75-80 million and PS5 to sell around 100-110 million. Nowhere near 2:1. We'll see how it goes.
It'll be interesting to see what Sony showcases in SOP. I'm R&C, Horizon and maybe tlou factions 2. Hope you enjoy.
@Trainer
This is so true and the earth will explode tomorrow. What a joke of a comment.
All companies will be ok as there is a enough space and money about, I think gaming is growing financially.
Only time will tell who will come out in top.
But you can be sure of one thing, they will come out on top as business will measure performance on the bit they are a head in.
Be it consoles sold, game pass sold, or game attachment to console.
It’s a dam business at the end of the day.
@Insightful
Time will tell, but I’m backing world wide remember 2:1 to Sony or very very close.
USA and UK will be closer. But not world wide.
Let’s all remember we don’t want to kill of any company. Be it Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft.
All bring us great gaming moments and the competition is so important to us the gamers and keeping them all at the top of their game.
I doubt Sony would even have backwards compatibility if it wasn’t for MS pushing it so hard. ‘We believe in generations’ yep what happened to that!? 😂
It does seem like it was an after thought on the PS5, the series consoles handle it so well with ease.
@Dezzy70 that's where you are wrong, it seems you are not following sales closely then. Let me inform you that:
In terms of sales, Nintendo is getting ahead. Source:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gamesindustry.biz/amp/2021-02-01-nintendo-switch-overtakes-3ds-as-nintendo-raises-forecasts-again
In terms of software, Nintendo is getting ahead too. Source:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2021/2/1/22259836/nintendo-3q-2020-earning-switch-sales-record
And about elder scrolls, well, just take a look at this:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/gamerant.com/bethesda-games-best-selling-ranked/amp/
And then take a look at this:
https://www.vg247.com/2021/02/03/ps5-4-5-million-sales-q3/
So before labeling something as "a joke of a comment", it would be great if you inform yourself about the things you talk about first, otherwise your statement (and future statements) lose any credibility.
@Insightful that's why I said about the Nintendo part, which is missing from your comment. Sony can't do anything if both competitors get ahead this generation.
@Trainer
We will see and you will eat your own words.
I will stick by my Sony PS5 2:1 roughly world wide
To Xbox series x/s at the end of the generation.
Let’s just enjoy the games and time will tell.
@Trainer
Nintendo isn't a direct competitor to Sony. Nintendo outselling PlayStation won't hurt PS.
On the topic of Nintendo sales, Imho, Switch will outdo PS2 lifetime sales. It's unstoppable.
@Dezzy70 You can't do anything against numbers. Nintendo and Microsoft have the advantage this generation, and the whole dual sense scandal plus the low supply of the ps5 will mean a hard start for Sony.
@Dezzy70
Relax, buddy. Xbox is only going up. It will close the gap up to the point ppl will take it seriously.
You're possibly forgetting the system selling effect of games like Halo and Starfield. Those games are literally guaranteed to help Series X/S outsell PS5.
@Insightful that's Nintendo PR, but of course the 3 big companies are fighting against each other, specially in Japan, where Nintendo has been going up against all odds. In fact, the Playstation brand is the only thing keeping Sony alive worldwide, not even those corny spider man movies could make them stay afloat for too long.
But sony can't rely forever on their one trick pony. This article sums up pretty much the current landscape:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.eurogamer.net/amp/2020-09-17-ps5-is-a-surefire-hit-but-sonys-broken-promises-are-eroding-trust
@Trainer
As I recall, in the previous quarterly results, other divisions did make money for Sony.
Sony are worth close to $100 billion so they're in a healthy state and will be for quite some time.
The time to talk about them being in financial trouble is when the likes of ps plus total subs decreases because that will affect their bottom line.
Anyways, I think we're getting off-topic from the point of this article.
Series X/S have the superior multi-plat versions it seems so that's a cause for celebration.
@Insightful I think you should tell that to investors, because they are not as confident as you are about their wealth:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/sony-mobile-global-business-news/%3famp
I mean, they are the ones with the money. They have analysts and stuff. And they should be worried considering how the market has shifted in the last decades.
On topic: yes.
@Trainer
Sony struggling in the phone market is nothing new but it's hardly going to kill them. They're probably stubborn because it's a market that's to do with innovation with tech and Sony are a VERY PROUD tech company.
@Dezzy70
"Days Gone and a “Whole Slate” of PlayStation Games Are Coming to PC"
Jim Ryan:
"Particularly from the latter half of the PS4 cycle our studios made some wonderful, great games. There’s an opportunity to expose those great games to a wider audience and recognise the economics of game development, which are not always straightforward."
@Trainer
Current sales roughly
PS5 5 million
Xbox series x and s 3.2 million
You do talk some utter trash.
When consoles go up for sale.
PS5 sells out in minutes.
Series x sells out in hours
Series s sells out in days
Scalpers overall leaving the series x and console prices bottoming out from scalpers.
That tells you a story as well.
@Dezzy70 it could help your argument if you, you know, back up those claims with sources as I did, specially the second part since it smells like bs.
Btw is that a haiku? Awesome.
@Trainer
Well the sales are off the internet but are analysts best they can do. They are probably not that far out.
Good example, today 2 UK stores have had series s in stock since 10:22am today, they are still not sold out. Very is one of them.
A new so called in high demand next generation console should sell out in minutes. Especially with Covid and other things expanding the market.
The series s was a mistake and developers had already stated will hold things back a bit.
At least Sony AAA studios have one console to produce for and that’s why they will produce the most and best quality AAA exclusives.
Microsoft are just messing around with what was a good formula, because they are lead incorrectly high up in the business.
The Halo Infinite shambles ring any bells.
@Trainer
Not that you will, just go on UK selling site called gumtree series X around £550
PS5 £700
A UK store CEX cash price for series x about £100 less than PS5 and selling price for series x is lower as well.
Evidence is there, you just don’t want to believe it.
2:1 worldwide easy probably buy the end of this year.
@Dezzy70 so you are basing your argument on the store in your neighborhood. Ok. Problem is, the world is not only the uk, because where I live all 3 new consoles are sold out everywhere. That would be like saying "no one likes pizza" because here everyone eats McDonald's. So that's why my first comment is about global sales comes into place (pretty sure you didn't even check those sites btw, not that it will change much things). Btw, fact number 1:
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/02/xbox_series_xs_were_the_uks_best_selling_consoles_in_january_2021
About the series S, you are wrong again. Please e-check this: , fact number 2:
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/01/the_medium_dev_praises_xbox_series_s_and_its_awesome_architecture
Unless you are a developer and can refute these claims. Are you a developer?
Again, if you are going to post something, at least put some effort into it. If you are going to post just bs, just stay at gamefaqs because here no one is going to believe your baseless claims.
@Trainer
I am basing it on fact from the internet and what I see in shops or sale sites myself.
I have no reason to lie.
You just stay in your Xbox denial bubble and enjoy.
And we will meet again at the end of this year 2021, when I will be posting sales facts on a 2:1 worldwide PS5 lead over series x/s.
Actually it will be on the internet on most sites when the end of years sales come out anyway.
On a serious note, enjoy your gaming that’s the main thing.
@Dezzy70 your logic reminds me of this:
"Source: it came to me on a dream"
Because you posted zero sources, links or anything BUT from your fanboy basement bias. If one day you want to be taken seriously by other adults, you need to back up your claims somehow, and you have failed to do so on many, many times, therefore nothing you post can be taken seriously from now on. As I said on another site, there is nothing wrong with being a fanboy, but a fanboy that can't face facts (because they have proven they are wrong) and accept them is sad.
@Trainer
I don’t now how to do all the posting and that on here. So I just tell it as it is.
But it’s all there. I did mention a couple of shops if you bothered to look.
You are just in denial and you know it.
It’s like the series x/s has only just sold more than the Xbox one in the same release window.
Ok an improvement well done.
But the Xbox one only released in half the countries the series x/s has during the same release window and also the series x/s sales are combined, meaning it includes a cheap S console.
So Xbox is probably worse off sales wise than the Xbox one at the same stage of its current release window.
You Xbox peeps need to read up on the internet on some mixed sites and come off just dedicated Xbox sites which never report the bad news.
@Dezzy70
Again, why don't you post your sources like I did in every post to refute your claims? You can post here but you "don't know" how to post a link to an article? Seriously? Who do you think you are fooling? It's clear from reading these comments who is wrong and who is in denial here, and anyone who reads these will know what's bs and what's not. It's sad to be wrong, isn't it?
Being the Xbox fan you are you should know that what I have said is true about Xbox one to series s/x sales. And Xbox one on the same release window was only released in half countries the series x/s has been.
Therefore you are one of three things.
1) you are having a bit of fun winding me up.
2) you truly are in denial, but know the truth.
3) you are in an Xbox bubble and only read positive news on Xbox sites or communicate with other proactive Xbox fans.
Here’s a fact you can’t deny as it these sales are all over the internet, this will tell me what you really are.
According sales data collected by analysts and sites like VGcharts on the internet and it is well know everywhere.
PS4 115 million sales worldwide.
Xbox one 49.8 million sales worldwide.
Over 2:1 to PS4.
Now do you agree with that?
@Dezzy70 hey, you gave to quote me or I don't get the notification. So that's how you are going to escape from your shameless, baseless posts? Not so fast my haiku dude.
Now, to address some of your points:
1) why would I waste my time with a person that can barely express himself in English, let alone with a person that after fact after fact can't read or click on sources? You have been proven wrong again and again here:
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/02/ghost_recon_breakpoint_looks_much_sharper_on_xbox_series_x_over_ps5_reveals_analysis#comment6152661
And here
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/02/ghost_recon_breakpoint_looks_much_sharper_on_xbox_series_x_over_ps5_reveals_analysis#comment6154116
And this one too of course:
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2021/02/ghost_recon_breakpoint_looks_much_sharper_on_xbox_series_x_over_ps5_reveals_analysis#comment6153405
So yeah, I would waste my time with a fanboy that could, you know, post facts, not bs as you do. Btw, changing your profile pic won't hide the fact that you are a sony fanboy. That was a bad effort, and useless.
2) No, I have posted facts. You haven't. Who is in denial then? Jesus Christ this is 5th grade logic btw, why is it so hard for you to understand this?
3) Unlike you, I read/watch many sites because unlike you, I own most consoles on the market. For some reason Sony fanboys tend to pass their own feelings to others, as a form of cleansing their sins (you will need to google translate that btw). If my only console was a ps4, boy I would stay home and away from other people that, you know, actually know what they are talking about.
And again, if you are going to reply to this, quote me, don't chicken out as you did above.
