Death Stranding is now available on Xbox Series X|S, and if you’re wondering how it compares to the existing PS5 version, read ahead.

This article is tagged as iPhone, I can only imagine that is because it's the same power as a series s or otherwise why is it on iPhone news ?.... plus no ps5 tag or series x tag just ps4 and xbox one , is that normal ?

[Knushwood Butt]

Game was released on ios.
As for your other points, I don't know.

As long as every console owner gets a good version, lovely, however that’s not the point of a graphics review…This reviewer doesn’t have the technical chops, or equipment, to determine the precise differences between the versions. To measure via the naked eye and claim some versions are ‘identical’ is not based on data, but feelings, it is effectively deceit. I could’ve written a more detailed comparison and I’ve never played the game. I’ll wait for a real review.

[Lightning77]

The I Phone is the same power as the S what are you talking about?

Y'all really need to start thinking before you speak.

[StormSnooper]

He is exaggerating of course, but I guess it needed to be explained that the series S is really underpowered for a current gen console.

[anast]

The X and S look rough, but acceptable.

[OptimusDK]

Lol the os5 and Series x is the same no difference

[anast]

You're wrong.

[COS]

Seriously, dude, they are basically the same image. We get you love your PS5, but come on man lol. Unless you are 2ft away from your screen not sure how you tell the difference.

[anast]

You're wrong too.

Welcome to N4G

[Aloymetal]

All the games I've tested on the Pro look and run amazing, TLOU2, Horizon FW, Ratchet, they all look impressive and crisp, even GT7 which doesn't have a pro patch yet (coming late Nov) runs 4k120fps with VRR and the image quality is superb. Some PS4 games look a bit better and some look about the same. If this is how things look now I really can't wait for future PS titles like Ghost of yotei, wolverine and DS2. We're in for a treat;)

[anast]

For sure, Sony hit it out of the park with this one.

[Lightning77]

The images look virtually the same on X and PS5. Go ahead show us where there's a big difference in image quality?

[raWfodog]

Unless some people are mistaking your X and PS5 comparison with PS5 Pro, I’m not sure why they are disagreeing with you. X and PS5 have almost always had comparable graphics and performance. Maybe it’s just my old eyes but they look the same to me lol.

[anast]

The video is there for you to see. I'm not sure why I need to show you that you are wrong when you can see for yourself.

[senorfartcushion]

Apparently the series X has better draw distance...

[anast]

The X looks washed out.

[Lightning77]

If it was so obvious you would be able to explain easily. Others have pointed it out there's basically no difference. Again where's this huge difference at? Since it's so obvious.

[TheEroica]

Ps5 has no games....

[COS]

No your wrong! roflol,

[shadowT]

Is the Pro Enhanced Update already available?

[LostPotato]

Gamers are weird. Spending money on the same game just with minor graphic upgrades.

On top of spending more then $800 on the PS5 Pro. Man these companies are laughing at you.

[gold_drake]

not sure why u calling other spending habbits weird.

its not ur money.

[Lightning77]

Well there seems to be a hit and miss when it comes to 3rd party titles.1st party of course are always gonna be a hit on pro because of course it's first party.

I find it strange the game runs just as well on X 5 and 5 Pro comparably with hardly a difference. Then again I dont think there's a Pro patch to take advantage of it, there is that. It's the Decima engine in house Sony made engine you would think the game would look best on PS5 and even pro

[senorfartcushion]

Because everyone can have an opinion. I share that opinion. It's dumb to waste money on stupid stuff.

[RedDevils]

It's just poor people habits.

[Aloymetal]

Gamers are weird. Spending time and energy criticizing what others do with their money.

[Sonic1881]

Let's not forget that Microsoft is selling their 2 TB flagship Series X over $600 dollars and it's old hardware. I'm laughing at that. It shouldn't cost that much

[Lightning77]

You say that like you just figured that out. That's been a thing for like a month. I saw you mention it as some sorta gotcha point as if you just discovered that xbox. You gotta keep up as everyone already knew about that console. Not saying it's any better but then again it is a limited 600$ edition.

[Sonic1881]

@Lightning77

I didn't know that. I'm still surprised about that. Just because of the SSD drive? It is what it is

"With a built-in stand and disc drive mind you."

The PS5 Pro doesn't need a vertical stand if you already have the disc drive. It also comes with 2 horizontal stand clips after I watched the teardown on the console. But regardless it's way more powerful than the Xbox series X

[senorfartcushion]

I agree

[anast]

Gamers are cool. I don't think it's us are the one that are weird.

[Deeeeznuuuts]

I mean, I doubt the Pro makes a HUGE difference but just love all the people who are mocking it, watching the videos through their phones or compressed on YouTube anyway, I'm still yet to see it in person for myself so I'm holding judgement til then

[Hereandthere]

Remember my friends, since 2001. There's no power greater than X.

[z2g]

And that’s exactly why I’m not spending 700 on a ps5 pro.

[Cockney]

It's interesting that in some instances there's a more of a difference between series x and ps5 than ps5 to ps5pro, not really surprising as its using decima. Guerrilla's engine it seems is very versatile, the x being so close to ps5 is a testament to some great work done by that team

[RhinoGamer88]

#needmore #for800

[Tooomraider]

Guerrilla Games did a great job with their Xbox port of Decima!

[Lexreborn2]

This game was running on base ps4. There really isn’t any need to compare it across devices. The only thing that’s important is to detail the differences between the series s and x version and what owners of the device should expect.

[Profchaos]

The only interesting thing here in my view is it's using the decima engine outside of this we know its immensely scalable running on a iPad

[Profchaos]

I'll be honest I can't tell the difference between most of these aside from the softer image on the s I noticed some artistic changes like some extra marks on the road on ps5 but that's not exactly a tech limitation it's artistic.

I'm not going to trash Xbox because when I can't see the difference like many other comments on here do and I think these types of comments that just promote console wars conversation and hate on anything Xbox is why this community has dwindled to the lowest level of engagement I've seen inover a decade of being here.

Seriously look at the front page almost all articles submitted are on 0 comments and so much of the submissions are not getting approved in a appropriate time anymore sad to say but my perception is this site is dying and I think the stale and boring fanboyism is killing it
