- Death Stranding, released five years ago, has better draw distance on a four-year-old console than on the PS5 Pro.
- A recent analysis has revealed that the Xbox Series X has draw distance in some instances.
- Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in shadows, water, and textures.
Before the PS5 Pro was released, Xbox Series X was the most powerful console in the world. In many instances, it had better performance than the PS5, and of course, the opposite was the case, too, as a lot depends on the optimisation.
That said, one wouldn’t expect the Series X to do anything better than the PS5 Pro, as it was released 4 years ago. However, according to a recent analysis, the former has better draw distance than the latter in Death Stranding, which came as a surprise.
Why it matters: The PS5 Pro was highly criticised due to its price tag, so now that it does not have a better draw distance than the Xbox Series X in Death Stranding, it will surely raise some eyebrows.
In the video, at 2:15, you can clearly see that the Xbox Series X has a better draw distance than the PS5 Pro. Now, it is understandable to have some issues as the game isn’t PS5 Pro enhanced, but given the hardware upgrade, the difference is a little disappointing.
What is more surprising is that the draw distance is better on the Xbox Series S, which is running the game at 900P. On the other hand, all three other consoles run it at 1800P in performance mode.
Other than the draw distance, there doesn’t seem to be any massive difference. Shadows, water, and textures look pretty similar on the Series X, PS5, and PS5 Pro. There is a minor difference in the performance as the Pro variant runs Death Stranding almost all the time at 60FPS.
While there are sometimes minor dips on the rest of the consoles, we might still see a lot more improvements once the game is patched for the console.
