Stray
Stray delivers an impressive visual presentation across all PlayStation consoles, with world detail remaining surprisingly intact on last-gen systems. Both PS4 and PS4 Pro target a native 1080p at 30fps, though both suffer from brief hitches caused by the auto-save system when transitioning between areas. PS5 provides the definitive console experience, boosting output to 4K at 60fps with dynamic resolution scaling down to 1890p in heavy scenes. The PS5 release virtually eliminates auto-save hitching, improves depth of field, and adds DualSense controller features.
