PS5 players who haven't made the jump to a 4K display yet get a bit of a treat with the 1080p Full HD mode which seems to keep the frame rate closer 60fps more consistently. They're just not as pronounced as they are in 4K. This still comes with some hiccups here and there: Encountering dense crowds in popular zones during peak hours result in some noticeable performance drops. ![]() Even in just navigating the world, playing the game is much easier on the eyes when things are moving smoothly and consistently. The boost in frame rate lets you have a better handle of things, especially in battle. While 4K can make an aged game look a bit fresher, visuals were never really FFXIV's strong suit. When using WQHD (1440p resolution), the frame rate picked up noticeably-this is what I would recommend PS5 players to use. Although you're not getting 60fps, I felt the experience was consistent enough as to not detract from gameplay, which I gathered from running The Twinning dungeon. However, the visuals are crisp, akin to running maximum settings on the PC version at native 4K. In 4K mode, you'll notice the game chugging to what feels like around 30fps in the huge Lominsan crowds, and doesn't always hit a silky smooth frame rate when out and about in the less dense areas of FFXIV's world. Now Playing: Final Fantasy XIV - PS5 Update Performance And Loading Screen Gameplay Even though it can struggle at times, this is a major improvement over the PS4's capabilities and a worthy upgrade for those who play on console.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's I spent a few hours hanging in the Limsa Lominsa lower decks with the large and rather enthusiastic crowds and ran a few dungeons to get a feel for how the PS5 handles high player counts in each mode. When running the PS5 version, you have three graphics options: "Full HD" that does 1080p and prioritizes hitting 60fps, "WQHD" that uses a 1440p resolution while targeting up to 60fps, and "4K" that runs native 4K resolution and improves overall draw distance but will experience lower frame rates. From super-fast load times to crisper visuals, FFXIV can now take full advantage of the PS5 as opposed to simply running the PS4 version through backwards compatibility. It's available for all players who have a PS4 copy of the game or are currently running the free trial with their account, and it comes with a slew of perks afforded by the more powerful hardware. As if you needed another reason to jump into Final Fantasy XIV-the popular MMORPG from Square Enix-the PlayStation 5 version of the game just went into open beta this week. ![]()
