Testing: Sony’s first Xbox game works best on PlayStation 5

Baseball simulator MLB The Show 21 from San Diego Studio was the first Sony game released on Xbox consoles, but it turned out that the project is best optimized for Playstation 5despite the more powerful hardware Xbox series x

According to technical analysis Digital foundry, During gameplay, the PlayStation 5 almost always shows 60 FPS, while Series X, although it tries to keep the maximum speed, does it less stable… The difference in performance is most noticeable during cutscenes: the frame rate in them periodically drops on all consoles, and it is in these cases that Microsoft’s flagship console lags behind more, by about 9-11 frames per second.

In terms of graphics, the PS5 and Xbox Series X render at native 4K resolution for nearly identical visuals.

At the same time, when checking pastgen versions Xbox one x surpassed PlayStation 4 Pro, showing performance up to 7 frames higher during complex sequences.

DF believe that the difference is most likely due to the fact that the MLB The Show engine was originally created for the PlayStation systems, and the developers have not yet fully mastered the new GDK for the Xbox Series. However, the Xbox already has one clear advantage: price. If the game is distributed on Sony consoles only for the full price, then owners of Microsoft consoles can view MLB The Show 21 by subscription Xbox Game Pass
