Forspoken — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Forspoken on PS5 suffered from inconsistent performance and uneven image quality at launch. While high-end PCs achieve superior image quality using DLSS and higher rendering resolutions, PS5 provides competitive loading times of 4.4 seconds in Performance Mode using FSR 2.1 upscaling. Both platforms exhibit similar limitations in ray tracing ambient occlusion and lighting quality.

Known issues
In Performance mode, the overhauled ambient occlusion solution throws up noticeable aliasing, particularly visible on foliage.
Enclosed spaces suffer from light leak due to low-resolution baked lighting, while ray-traced shadows exhibit hard aliased edges and distracting pop-in.
At launch, the game suffered from uneven visual quality and inconsistent frame rate performance on PS5.

The 40 FPS mode is great in theory but in practice the quality mode suffers most to not be worth it.
