It Takes Two — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
It Takes Two ships in two distinct builds. The native PS5 version is the one to play: 4K output, a 60fps target and fast loading, which keeps the game's relentless stream of new mechanics and split-screen set pieces smooth for both players. The PS4 version is the compromise build, with lower resolution, cut-back effects and a lower frame-rate target that is most noticeable in busy split-screen sequences. There is no PS5 Pro patch, so Pro owners simply run the PS5 version.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
