Cairn — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
On standard PS5, Cairn utilizes an unlocked frame rate that delivers fluid performance in initial enclosed environments like the tutorial climbing gym. However, once transitioning to the main outdoor mountain areas, performance drops considerably and struggles to exceed 30 fps.
