Hotline Miami — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Hotline Miami has no native PlayStation 5 version: on PS5 it runs through backwards compatibility, so the output stays at the PS4 build's 1080p while the frame rate holds a locked 60fps and restarts - the core loop of the game - become essentially instant thanks to the SSD. On PS4 it is the same 1080p/60fps presentation. No graphics modes are offered anywhere and there is no PS5 Pro patch.
