Dead by Daylight
The next-gen update is what makes Dead by Daylight worth playing on PlayStation 5: 4K output, a 60fps target and much faster matchmaking loads, all of which matter in a game decided by split-second chases. The PS4 version stays at Full HD and is the weakest way to play, with a frame rate that is not consistently verified and visibly suffers during heavy chase sequences. There is no PS5 Pro patch.
