Actually getting the last-gen rendition running on the latest and greatest Xbox machine is challenging to say the least &#8211; and the bad news is, performance barely improves over Xbox One X. However, in figuring <em>why<\/em> 60fps is completely off the table and <em>how<\/em> the experience is actually enhanced instead, we do learn some interesting new characteristics about the From Software engine.<\/p>\n<p>So why pursue this line of testing in the first place? Well, it turns out that native code running on any PlayStation or Xbox console fails to consistently hit 60 frames per second. The base last-gen consoles are 30fps or under, with poorly implemented frame-pacing to boot. Xbox One X and PS4 Pro both run unlocked but can&#8217;t get close to hitting the magic 60fps, while both quality and performance modes on the current-gen machines also fall short. Running non-native PS4 code on PS5 does the trick, however, but it&#8217;s an option only available to those who own digital copies of the game &#8211; the physical disc is PS5 only.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/digitalfoundry-2022-ps5-elden-rings-60fps-back-compat-hack-fails-on-xbox-series-x\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
