Many video games now offer a Performance and Quality mode. But what is the difference between the two and which should you game with?
TheXboxHub writes - "Akatsuki: Lord of the Dawn isn’t a bad game, however it is lacking the magical X factor that will ensure you miss it when you’re not playing."
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched on April 28, 2023. Two years later, it's still celebrated as the best Star Wars game ever, with a Grammy and a sequel incoming.
Absolutely not the best Star Wars game. That's Star Wars galaxys. Survivor isn't even that good
I loved the game but hated the issues. I waited over a year to play it and it still had major issues. I would have went for the platinum but with all the save bugs and other issues I didn’t even think about it
I’ve played both Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. I think the games are good not great.
March 2025 is the 53rd month the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 5 when compared to the aligned launch of the Xbox Series X|S by 205,297 units.
In the last 12 months, the PlayStation 5 has outsold Xbox Series X|S by 2.97 million units. The PlayStation 5 is currently ahead by 8.64 million units.
Depends on the genre and how the modes are executed for me personally. Like i don't need 60fps for something like R&C where it's not the most reflex dependent gameplay, so in cases like that i pick visuals. However some games have very solid performance modes with almost no discernible difference, and in some games both modes suck 🤷♂️
For FPS I prefer performance modes, accept Fortnight. When playing it in graphics mode, on Series X my FPS rarely drops below 60fps, as your FPS are displayed up top.
There was only one time I was dropping in, from the party bus, and my FPS went all over the place. I mean below 26 fps. I quit that game before landing. Dropped right back in, and was back at 60fps. Must have been the server.
Have to say, it's fun to stop playing Fortnight for awhile. Then go back to see what's changed. Pretty impressive Unreal Engine 5.1 upgrades to visuals, without losing 60fps. Of coarse it's just an island, and not a massive open world game.
I’ve pretty much been doing performance for everything. On my PC I play maxed settings 3440 x 1440p performance if available. On my 4k tv for PS5 or Series X I always play performance.
Mostly because we have hit the point of diminishing returns with graphics. Quality never seems to really do anything significant over performance these days.
30FPS in 2023 should never be a thing, going into the future all games should be 60FPS at the very least with settings maxed or close to it at 4K. I game mostly on PC but, for me the sweet spot is FPS in the 100s's. Future game consoles need to try to get the best PC video card specs at the time of development so future games will not suffer.
The last few games I've played I've really struggled to see a difference between the two modes. Certainly not enough to give up 60+ fps for.
