Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Extra Information

Base PS5 and Pro upscale to 4K, but base PS5's internal resolution is 1440p compared to Pro's sharper 1800p. However, other image metrics are harder to compare due to the compulsory use of the Cloud to stream in the world (Xbox can download Earth to SSD). For example, particularly bad pop in could be caused by the game itself or the Cloud's current bandwidth. The same flight on the same PS5 can therefore render different image quality, although Pro generally has less pop in and increased draw distances. Both consoles also default to a 30fps cap, but can be unlocked with VRR. However, even with the PC-like menu of 10+ graphical settings (character quality, fauna density etc) set to their lowest, the framerate rarely reaches 60fps, can even dip to 25fps-27fps when flying low in cities, and is generally between 30-40fps (with Pro averaging 3-4fps higher). Finally, there's no RT shadows seen in PC's cockpit mode, which DF speculated could be a Pro-exclusive enhancement.
