PS5 less powerful and more expensive than Xbox Series X, an insider confirms the rumors
PS5 will be less powerful and more expensive than Xbox Series X, and will struggle with 4K gaming: well-known insider Dusk Golem reiterated the rumors he himself circulated days ago, adding more details.
Let's do a step back to frame the question: last Sunday Dusk Golem returned to talk about Resident Evil Village on Twitter, revealing that on PS5 the 1080p and 60 fps are reached with difficulty by the titles of the third parties and taking the example of the new episode of the Capcom series.
Today, a few hours after reporting the news that Resident Evil Village will be the longest chapter in RE Engine ever, the insider has again addressed the issue of the technical capabilities of PlayStation 5, confirming precisely that the console struggles with 4K games.
"Users should psychologically prepare for the real possibility that PS5 will end up being the more expensive platform of the two," wrote Dusk Golem referring to the possible selling price of next-gen systems, before firing the bomb:
"I was asked not to say too much and I am trying to respect the indications given to me, but I repeat: get ready to the idea that Xbox Series X is the least expensive but also the most powerful console. "
" I used Resident Evil 8 as an example, but I have also heard from other developers that PS5 struggles, particularly with you play at 4K, and therefore we will see a lot of fake, dynamic 4K. "
" Some people don't care, mind you, but be prepared for such a scenario. Xbox Series X doesn't suffer from the same difficulties. "
(3/3) the less expensive and more powerful console. I used RE8 as an example, but I've heard from other devs that PS5 struggles with 4k games in particular so you'll see a lot of fake 4k. That doesn't matter to some, but get ready for that too. Xbox X doesn't have the same problem
