In our review of Alan Wake 2, Magnus shared a wealth of positive thoughts and opinions about the game’s story, audiovisual presentation, and gameplay systems. But he also noted that while the performance seemed pretty good, experts might add further in this regard.
to this end,Digital FoundryThe folks at have brought Alan Wake 2 to PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S and have concluded that the game is awesome,and is “a true visual achievement, delivering well-calibrated graphics even on the Xbox Series S.
However, just because Remedy’s title performs well doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Digital Foundry notes that the game has some bugs, with cutscene audio syncing errors on the Xbox version, sometimes image quality issues, screen space reflection issues leading to a grainy appearance, and that the Xbox Series X version is generally better than the PS5.
Specifically, Digital Foundry stated: “The performance of PS5 is not good. Certain areas really struggle in performance mode and feel choppy during typical gameplay in the affected areas. While the frame rate delta over the Series X is surprising, the PS5 consistently failed to hit its frame time targets in certain tasks. The same is true in quality mode.
they continued: “The PS5’s GPU is pushed too hard here and doesn’t have the necessary headroom to keep up with the more difficult market segments. In comparison, the Series X has far fewer of these issues, although load times may be longer seconds.
Digital Foundry also noted that while performance and quality modes work well on both consoles, global lighting, volumetric lighting, fog quality, texture filtering, texture detail, shadows, screen There are obvious differences in aspects such as spatial reflection.
So while the console versions all work fine, Digital Foundry does confirm“The premier Alan Wake experience is undoubtedly on the PC platform. We’re told that the lighting, image quality, high frame rate potential, are all better than the console version.
