Elden Ring Nightreign Fails To Hit 60FPS At 4K On PS5 Pro

Expert Verified By

Hits Native 4K But Frame Rate Is Unstable!

Story Highlight
  • Elden Ring Nightreign runs at native 4K resolution on the PS5 Pro.
  • This resolution requires trade-offs in terms of the frame rate, which typically stays at around 50FPS on the PS5 Pro.
  • Performance mode offers a more stable 60FPS, but it uses a dynamic resolution.

Last year, FromSoftware officially confirmed the return of Elden Ring after immense success with the IP. Dubbed Elden Ring Nightreign, this standalone title puts co-op-focused gameplay at the forefront, offering a fresh experience.

FromSoftware has also released a Network Test on consoles ahead of the release. The game has now been tested on consoles like the PS5 Pro, showing a native 4K resolution that struggles to maintain 60FPS.

Why it matters: The PS5 Pro was sold on the promise of 4K 60FPS gaming. To achieve these results, consumers paid a hefty $700 price for the hardware, but the results haven’t been as impressive as many expected.

Testing from ElAnalistaDeBits reveals that Elden Ring Nightreign runs at a typical resolution of 2160p in Quality mode on the PS5 Pro. 

This resolution certainly offers an impressive level of visual clarity, but the trade-offs don’t take long to become apparent. As the frame rate analysis shows, the PS5 Pro usually runs the Network Test at around 50FPS.

The frame rate can even fall below 50, though this only happens during more intense scenes with plenty of dense foliage. This is where Performance mode comes in, offering a more stable frame rate while sacrificing image quality and resolution.

In general, the performance is not too different from that of Elden Ring on the PS5 Pro. Although the 4K native resolution is certainly impressive, it should be noted that FromSoftware’s latest RPG was a cross-generation title that supported hardware as old as the Xbox One and PS4.

Elden Ring Nightreign Is Very Different From The Traditional FromSoftware Offering

This is perhaps the major reason it can target native 4K resolution on the much more impressive PS5 Pro, but the unstable frame rate certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

The good news is that Elden Ring Nightreign is still a few months away, giving FromSoftware time for further optimizations. Whether this time will be enough to bring substantial improvements, however, remains to be seen.

What are your thoughts on the performance? Let’s discuss this in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
