PS5 Runs Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Better In Performance Mode Than Its Pro Variant

Expert Verified By

Xbox Series X Can Also Be Seen At An Advantage In Some Instances!

Story Highlight
  • Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 early access is available, and the impressions are really positive. 
  • The game is well-optimised for consoles, but the base PS5 seems to perform better than its pro variant. 
  • In performance mode, the base console almost always has an advantage of 3-5 FPS over the PS5 Pro.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, a long-awaited sequel, is now available to play in early access. The fandom’s question as to how well it is optimised for the consoles has also been answered. 

That said, there is one thing that many might not have expected. Of course, the PS5 Pro has better hardware than the base console, so it should run the game better; at least, that is what most of the fans must be thinking. 

That isn’t the case, though, as PS5 runs Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 better than its pro variant in performance mode. 

Why it matters: PS5 Pro was highly criticised for its massive price tag. The mid-gen refresh became extremely controversial as it didn’t run many games at 60FPS, including Black Myth: Wukong. So, this new update just adds more to its failures. 

A Youtuber, ElAnalistaDeBits, did a complete analysis of the game on Xbox Series S|X, PS5, and its pro variant. The analysis revealed that the title is well-optimised and runs at 30 FPS on native 1080P resolution.  

However, in performance mode, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X are both left in dust by the base PlayStation 5. The console offers at least a 3-5 FPS advantage most of the time. Sometimes, the FPS count even goes up to 8, which is surprising given how many tech experts have praised the pro variant’s new AI technology and its upgraded hardware. 

It should be worth noting that the PS5 Pro is running Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 at 4K resolution, upscaled from 2K, while Xbox Series X and PS5 are running it at 2K resolution, upscaled from 1080P.

This is the main reason why there is a performance difference, but the pro variant is supposed to have better upscaling technology as well as way better hardware. So, why can’t it run the game way better than its base variant?

That is mainly because PS5 Pro is a guinea pig for the PS6, as Mark Cenry also said the console is just for the preparation of next-gen consoles

What do you think about Sony’s mid-gen refresh failing to beat PS5 in Kingdom Come to Deliverance in performance mode? Do you think the console is worth the price tag, given there are many similar instances?
