- New tests show the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has frequent frame drops and performance issues on PS5 consoles.
- The game struggles to maintain 60 FPS, with the PS5 Pro sometimes dipping more than the base console.
- The visuals on PS5 Pro also look quite blurry at times because PSSR resolves the finer details to a lower resolution.
The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is one of the most anticipated releases of this year, with many fans wanting to try out the modern take on the stealth-defining entry. However, new testing reveals that console players may not have the best experience.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater suffers from frame rate dips and other performance issues on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The game fails to consistently stay at 60 FPS, with noticeable drops ruining the smooth gameplay.
Why it matters: Despite receiving a positive score in reviews, the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake also comes with unexpected optimization issues that will hinder the overall experience of the players.
The testing done by Digital Foundry confirms that both PS5 and PS5 Pro versions of the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake waver around 60 to 40 FPS, with drops to the 30 range during intense moments.
PS5’s performance mode introduces visual artifacts and a fuzzy look to dense moving details. On the flip side, the quality mode being locked at 30 FPS looks comparatively better, and improved visuals also reduce the visual pop-ins.
The gameplay looks more enhanced on the PS5 Pro, but the port’s performance also often ends up worse on it. PSSR benefits the visuals but impacts the game’s optimization.
The remake’s finer details on PS5 Pro end up with a lower resolution due to PSSR, giving it that dreaded blurry look that many UE5 games notoriously have.
Digital Foundry also claims that they noticed similar performance and frame rate issues on the Xbox Series X during the Gamescom event. Meanwhile, the game is capped at 60 FPS on PC, which has been another point of contention by fans.
The Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake is set to release on 28 August 2024, for PC and consoles.
