Assassin's Creed Origins — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Assassin's Creed Origins targets 30fps across all console platforms using dynamic resolution scaling and temporal anti-aliasing. The base PS4 operates mostly at native 1080p with minor resolution dips, whereas PS4 Pro scales between 1350p and 1584p, providing cleaner detail and reduced softness. Both consoles target 30fps during gameplay with minor drops in heavy scenes, though PS4 Pro holds closer to the target under load. In-engine cutscenes suffer significant performance degradation on both platforms, falling to 20-25fps.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
PS5 delivers a steady 60fps during gameplay via the backward compatibility patch, inheriting the PS4 Pro dynamic resolution range (1152p-1620p, typically around 1440p). While gameplay performance is rock solid, real-time cutscenes feature camera-cut stutters, and pre-encoded cutscenes run at 30fps with poor frame pacing.
