PoE on Series X is 4k 120 fps. PoE on PS5 is 1080p 60fps. Why is PS5 so gimped?

Seriously Xbox One ran PoE at 4k 60fps. But PS5 is still at 1080p 60fps. And nobody says a word about it. Not like I am the only person that owns both consoles and tried PoE on both? I even Play PoE on PC. Would probably try it on Switch if it was available even though PS5 version could be played on Switch its that low of quality.

Another thing I noticed is PS5 version is 8gbs. Series X is about 40gbs.

Hi.
Both versions of the game run in backwards compatibility mode.
PS5 uses PS4 code, which means it targets 1080p with medium textures.
Xbox Series X uses One X code, which targets 4k resolution and uses high resolution textures.
Xbox Series S uses One S code, which is identical to PS4.
Interesting. Does it matter if I put the console on a lower resolution like 720p, or will the game still render on 1080p only to be downscaled by the console or TV?

Also, are you working on creating a PS5 enhanced (or native) version, perhaps by utilizing the One X codebase?

Final question: does the game support HDR or other output-related features like variable refresh rate?

The game is not affected by the output resolution of your console/tv. It renders at intended resolution and the image is downscaled/upscaled by the console after that.

Unfortunately I don't have any information to share about this at the moment.

The game has HDR pipeline, but it does not output HDR image yet. So the answer no for now.

The game works really well with VRR on Xbox One and Xbox Series. You just need an AMD FreeSync compatible display.

PS4 does not support VRR output. And as far as I'm aware PS5 does not support VRR for back compat titles ☹️

Ok, thanks for the answers! Handy to know I could run the console output at 4K and it won't impact the game performance at all (or just a little bit because of upscaling)

All the more reason have a 'proper' PS5 version ;)
Why is their still no PS5 version that give equal specs to Series X.

I just want to play on my PS5 instead of PC or Series X.

While not officially promised, it has been strongly hinted that PoE2 will be native on the PS5/XSX, instead of using backwards compatibility.

Looking forward to poe2 on ps5, but that does not help much with poe1! A ps5 version of poe1 would be nice to have, will still play both even after poe2
Here it is 2024 and I was really hoping by now there would have been a PS5 upgrade for Poe..really sucks man. Or at least I stead of the medium textures , put them on high or ultra.
This system could easily handle that lol and still easily maintain 60fps.
I play it on my PC as well

But being able to lay back and relax and play it on PS5 would be much more ideal.
Sigh ..maybe one day :(
I understand Poe2 is coming , and will be native..but love to poe1 would be really awesome.
