Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Performance overview

Resident Evil 7 delivers exceptional technical consistency across PlayStation consoles, holding a locked 60fps on both PS4 and PS4 Pro without dropped frames. Base PS4 renders at a clean native 1080p, while PS4 Pro offers a slight resolution increase to 2240x1260 when outputting to 4K displays, alongside brighter foliage highlights. Both PlayStation systems feature HDR support and offer superior image quality and frame-rate stability compared to Xbox One, though both suffer from minor, occasional texture streaming delays.

Base PS4 targets and sustains a locked 60fps at native 1080p resolution. Temporal anti-aliasing provides a clean image free of specular shimmer, supported by full HDR output. Minor texture pop-in during object interaction is the primary visual quirk.
