Kingdom Hearts III — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance

Performance overview

Kingdom Hearts III offers distinctly different performance profiles on PlayStation consoles. Base PS4 renders at 1600x900 with frame rates fluctuating between 30fps and 60fps. PS4 Pro defaults to a higher 2304x1296 resolution, but unexpectedly delivers lower frame rates than the base console. However, setting the PS4 Pro system output to 1080p forces the game to render at native 1080p, locking close to 60fps and providing the optimal experience. Across both PS4 platforms, the 30fps Stable mode suffers from severe frame-pacing stutter and should be avoided in favor of the unlocked Default mode.
