Path of Exile
Path of Exile has no native PS5 version and runs the PS4 build through backwards compatibility at 1080p. The extra CPU and SSD of PS5 help with loading and with the worst slowdowns, but there is no verified frame-rate capture for either console version, and the game is well known for losing frames in dense end-game encounters, so we list the frame rate as unknown rather than estimate it. No graphics modes and no PS5 Pro patch.
