Hunt: Showdown 1896 — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Hunt: Showdown 1896 brings CryEngine 5.11 upgrades to current-gen consoles, doubling the 30fps target of last-gen PS4 hardware to 60fps. PS5 runs at a fixed 1260p upscaled to 4K using FSR 2, maintaining 60fps more consistently than Xbox Series X's 1440p target. However, PS5 suffers from full-screen screen tearing during frame drops into the mid-50s caused by heavy alpha effects, and notably omits interior volumetric lighting present on Xbox platforms. Despite these visual quirks, PS5 offers the most stable performance profile among current consoles.
