PS5 Game Performance is just awful and unplayable

Quick update on my Xbox Series S experience. In cities or low-action areas, the game runs okay with good FPS. However, in the endgame with crowded scenes and lots of mobs (I’m running a Grenade Mercenary build), my FPS drops back to 20 FPS on normal settings (like before the update). It is just no playable. Fortunately, I haven’t experienced extreme drops to 5 FPS like others have reported, must feel like a powerpoint slide show. Still, I imagine playing as a Mage with 2-3 teammates could push mine probably below 20 FPS easily.

I’ve started playing Diablo 4, and it’s a relief for my eyes in comparison—it’s genuinely fun. Once the FPS issues on consoles are fixed and the endgame runs at a stable 50-60 FPS, I’ll be excited to return to POE2.

Thanks for your reports. We are currently investigating issues with performance on all platforms.

Please prioritize screen tearing issues on PS5.

Exactly that!

On the PS5 Pro, performance isn't too bad, but screen tearing is a nightmare. I think it mostly affects users with 60Hz TVs because my friend claims he doesn’t have that problem, whereas for me, it’s just terrible.
