Xbox Series X Is Even Better Than PS5 Pro For Assassin's Creed Unity, Suggests Report

Just watched the DF 4K patch analysis, this is whack on all accounts. Series S isn’t even 1080p, PS5 Pro sees no resolution upgrade, and even the X isn’t locked to 60fps. Ubisoft pretty much phoned this “4K” patch (it isn’t 4K on any platform) in.

"VRR works for backwards compatible games on Xbox, whereas it doesn't on the PS5 Pro."

What a joke, seriously! I’m glad I sold my PS5 Pro — what a scam.
(Yeah, I actually had it in my hands for a few weeks before getting rid of it.)

Of course, this isn’t the case for every game, but the number of titles where the PS5 is noticeably more powerful than the Series X is tiny. Most of the time, the differences are barely noticeable, identical, or even better on the Series X — like in this example.

Basically, for this game, the Series X is more powerful, and on top of that, cheaper.

As for backward compatibility, PlayStation has always been behind anyway. They clearly have no real intention of improving in that area — there’s just no financial incentive for them.

@FraserG So I checked as well, and apparently it’s inconsistent for backward‑compatible games.
In theory it’s supposed to work, but it doesn’t on every title, and when it does, the results vary from game to game.
Basically, from what I understand, VRR on PlayStation just isn’t as solid as on Xbox.

@FraserG I'm not a learned scholar in this area, but it'd lead me to believe that ps5s VRR only kicks in on native ps5 apps, whereas Xbox having smart delivery gives VRR to Xbox one compatible apps. Just a guess but sounds most plausible

@fatpunkslim dang dude, if you had held on to the PS5 Pro until today it would have been worth more now than you paid for it.

@FraserG That’s because Xbox implemented VRR way sooner, since the Xbox One S if I’m not mistaken, so on top that the feature itself is better built it just has been officially supported and optimized for way longer, which is bearing fruit as many backward compatible games do run better on Xbox than PS5.

I remember back at launch PS5 didn’t even have a VRR and it arrived months later with an update with lots of bugs and still isn’t entirely fixed.

@fatpunkslim The PS5 Pro is a scam because XSX can run last gen games better? That was already the case with the base PS5 as backwards compatibility is just better built on Xbox.

If you actually had the console the main or perhaps only reason is to play newer games as best as possible without jumping to PC, the list of PS5 Pro optimized games is not big but as an owner of both a PS5 Pro and Series X the difference in those optimized games is pretty dramatic specially with the latest PSSR update, there’s now better looking games in performance mode than on base PS5/XSX at quality mode, I’m currently playing Crimson Desert on the Pro and for that alone is was worth the price I paid for it, but nowadays at $899 it’s impossible to recommend.

Oooh wow, well done. It's a decade old game, now lets make Series X games better shall we, you know the games people actually want to play.

@IOI I'm pretty sure he's talking nonsense. We all know his comment history. Remember when he said he has no interest at all in ps exclusives? If that's the case why would you buy a pro?
