Analysis of PS5 and Xbox Series X games, like Devil May Cry 5, CoD, and Dirt 5, shows PS5 narrowly outperforming Xbox despite Microsoft's “most powerful” claims
here's why Lewis White / MSPoweruser : Microsoft is working with developers to rectify Xbox Series X performance issues Chris Smith / Trusted Reviews : PS5 outperforming Xbox Series? Microsoft responds YouTube : COD Black Ops Cold War: PS5 vs Xbox Series X - Ray Tracing, 120Hz Mode Tests + Series S Analysis! Ian Walker / Kotaku : Assassin's Creed Valhalla Update Adds 60 FPS Option To All Next-Gen Consoles Joel Hruska / ExtremeTech : PS5 Outperforms Xbox Series X in Tests as Sony Promises More Consoles Brad Sams / Thurrott : Xbox Series X: Two Weeks Later - The Best Console You Should Not Buy, Yet Nathan Birch / Wccftech : PS5 3rd-Party Games Outperforming XSX, Microsoft Vows to “Resolve the Issues” With Devs Mathew Olson / USgamer.net : Microsoft Is Working to “Identify and Resolve” Performance Issues in Xbox Series X Games Steve Watts / GameSpot : As PS5 Performance Tops Xbox Series X In Some Games, Microsoft Responds Sherif Saed / VG247 : PS5 performance advantage over Xbox Series X in some games being looked into by Microsoft Ramon Hara / Game Rant : Xbox's Phil Spencer Praises The PS5's DualSense Controller Steve Vegvari / iPhone in Canada Blog : Microsoft's Phil Spencer Says Xbox Streaming App Could Come to TVs Next Year Sean Carey / TrueAchievements : Xbox head Phil Spencer details how Xbox Game Pass deals with developers are structured Vic Hood / TechRadar : Microsoft may replace ‘old world’ Xbox Series X pre-order system - but with what? Tweets: Gaijinhunter / @aevanko : In all fairness, NO DEV is fully used to any of the GDKs yet, and sure if they got one earlier that would explain it. As devs get used to the tools, games will improve on both platforms. The fact they run so well on the machines as launch titles is a hell of an accomplishment imo https://twitter.com/... Tony Polanco / @romudeth : It appears developers didn't get Xbox dev tools until late June. This could account for why multiplats perform better on PS5 than Series X. Will Xbox multiplats start looking better in the future? We'll have to wait and see. https://www.theverge.com/... MBG / @xmbgx : In other words, team Xbox believes if you wait, you will eventually see differences in favor of the Xbox Series X. I don't expect them to say they failed or anything but c'mon now, this is just ridiculous. They bet on the wrong horse, it's as simple as that. https://twitter.com/... @kahjahkins : I feel like we're going to spend months nitpicking so many things that consumers won't even pay attention to when playing their games. What I care about is “why did both of my next-gen consoles lock up to a reboot state when launching a game that should just work?” https://twitter.com/... Josh / @liquidtitan : There is more than just teraflops, which @RedGamingTech and some others been beating on since the beginning. Also, it's too early to predict how they'll suit up against one another in a long run because, with time, developers be taking advantage of both.. **Remember that 4.2TF** https://twitter.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Why is the PS5 outperforming the Xbox Series X in games? I've been speaking to devs, and Microsoft has issued a statement. The Xbox team is still quietly confident that bigger performance gains will appear in the future. My full report here: https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/... Jon Cartwright / @joncomms : 2021 is where xCloud gets big TV, PC, iOS via web, Xbox consoles Blades are also being updated to Series X so you'll be able to use a vanilla Xbox One to play with next gen hardware https://twitter.com/... Xbox Serious X / @julianamolinaj1 : #PS5 👀 #XboxSeriesX right from the horse's mouth. Phil Spencer states the Xbox Series chip was late because they waited for the latest AMD RDNA2 tech. https://twitter.com/...
