PlayStation 5 Can Easily Deliver Native 4K And 100+ FPS Gameplay In Bloodborne, But Sony Doesn't Seem To Care
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony's PlayStation 5 offers full backward compatibility with PlayStation 4 games but does not enhance these games' performance or visuals out-of-the-box, missing an opportunity to leverage the system's power.
- A recent Digital Foundry video demonstrated that minimal developer effort could enable games like Bloodborne to run at native 4K resolution with stable 30 FPS and no frame pacing issues on PS5.
- Modding Bloodborne allowed it to utilize the PS5's extra RAM and consistently max CPU and GPU clocks, resulting in improved visuals and smoother gameplay, including frame rates above 100 FPS at lower resolutions.
- Despite these possibilities, Sony has not implemented such enhancements for backward-compatible games, and with the current generation nearing its end, system-level improvements seem unlikely.
- Looking ahead, there is hope that the PlayStation 6 will offer more than basic backward compatibility by enabling enhanced performance and visuals for previous-generation titles.
