Should I Be Worried About Frame Rate on PS5 Games?

-

I’ve been a PC gamer for about 10 years but I’m thinking of picking up a PS5 due to the high prices for building a gaming PC right now. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the latest PS5 games, like Elden Ring and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, not consistently hitting 60 FPS. A friend of mine, who’s been playing PlayStation forever, says he doesn’t even notice the frame rate drops. I’ve also come across claims that 30 FPS on PS5 may feel smoother than on PC, which I’m curious about. I’m looking for opinions from the community on these frame rate issues. Plus, I’d appreciate any suggestions for displays that can help maximize frame rates—I’m okay with lower resolutions if that means getting better performance.

Your friend might not notice the frame drops, but they can really affect gameplay depending on the title. For Elden Ring on PS5, it runs at 60 FPS in certain areas but drops can be annoying elsewhere, especially in busy scenes. If you’re looking to avoid that, maybe stick with the PS4 version for a smoother ride.

So, that PS4 version’s a good tip for Elden Ring, but what about other games? I’m worried that if the current ones struggle, what’s gonna happen with bigger games like GTA VI?
