Elden Ring Resolution and FPS Confirmed for PlayStation and Xbox Consoles; Ray-Tracing Supported

Bandai Namco has revealed all of the Elden Ring specifications, including the resolution and frame rate for the PlayStation and Xbox platforms.

What about for steam deck?

[Magog]

720p, 30fps if you're lucky.

[MadLad]

720 with a solid screen is no real issue on a handheld, even though you can bump that up as a form of anti aliasing, and they've already shown a number of more demanding games running at high settings at a solid 60fps. Though, again, this can be ran via Windows, where you can easily lock the fps to whatever you want. So even on truly demanding games you don't have to just throw it on 30fps just because you can't get a consistent 60fps.

That's one of the reasons PC is great. You can tailor just about every game to your liking. You're not stuck with whatever the devs choose.

[Magog]

What more demanding game did they show running at 60fps? None that I've seen.

[MadLad]

Witcher 3, DMC 5, Resident Evil 7, Mankind Divided, Doom Eternal, Shadown of the Tomb Raider. It goes on.
It's easy to not keep up on these things when you aren't interested in it, and are trying to discount the potential because of that.

And there

[Si-Fly]

Steam Deck is comparable to PS4/X1 so you’re probably looking at 30fps even at 720p which is fine by me.

[MadLad]

720p/30fps is far closer to what we were usually getting in the 360 and PS3 days than what was happening last gen.

[AuraAbjure]

Sweet!

[EmperorDalek]

They really slacked off on the Xbox One X version going off this.

[Shadowsteal]

No reason anyone should be on an Xbox One X. Gamestop has been buying them for $275. Xbox Series S have been widely available as well, if you can't get your hands on an X.

[MadLad]

The X and the Series S are basically a toss up between each other. Both have pros and cons in terms of hardware performance.

That said, if I'm playing on a new console, I want a damn disc drive. As a long time PC gamer, I am not about letting one singular storefront dictate my game purchase.

[EmperorDalek]

I have a Series X, but I gave my One X to my brother, who still uses it. It's still a good machine, and if they want sales from the Xbox One version then they should damn well put in some effort. It's rubbish that FromSoftware clearly put no effort into the One X version, when it only runs at 900p with no HDR, compared to 1080p with HDR on the PS4 Pro. It's also rubbish that people would deflect this with "just upgrade bro."

[ElvisHuxley]

Yeah, I saw 3 S's on the shelf at walmart the other day.

[CobraKai]

There’s lots of reasons anyone still games on a 1X. Maybe they, like most, can’t get their hands on it. Maybe they can’t afford a new system right now. Maybe they’re not ready to upgrade just yet. Maybe they don’t need to upgrade. Maybe they don’t want Series S and want the true next gen Series X.

[Atom666]

The chart is printed weird. 4k/30 for One X is pretty good considering the CPU.

[EmperorDalek]

You're right, I misread. Not a well done chart.

[KillBill]

They messed up the formatting on their specs. (just move the headers for the consoles all over by one column)

Xbox One X is "Up to 3840x2160p". The PS4 Pro is "Up to 3200x1800p".

[CobraKai]

Yeah. I got confused reading PS5 being sub 4K and only “up to 30fps”.

[Darkwatchman]

What are you talking about. Xbox One X shows "up to 3840x2160" on the spec sheet compared to the Pro's 1800p checkerboard

[Brazz]

Looks like PS4 pro can still deliver a solid experience.

[Aussiesummer]

Ray tracing is such a bizarre edition considering the extremely average graphics, perhaps shadows.

[Syphos]

Just taking the leap and ask, how do you consider this average graphics?
There's only a few games that look better then this on the market, most having way bigger budgets and/or not as much mechanics in their gameplay so they can focus on graphics more (like racing games for example).
So genuinely curious if this is average graphics, you are basically saying 90% of the games coming out look like shit, excluding that 10% which have insane budgets.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

It's neither Red Dead Redemption 2 nor Dark Souls in terms of Graphics. It's fine, nothing impressive. The art style, on the other hand, is simply beautiful and alleviates the overall visuals of the game. In the end, no one looks at the graphics when they're getting their cheeks clapped, so it doesn't really matter that much.

[WhiteHawk]

Did you see those low res textures and lack of detail and low amounts of foliage and grass? Nice art but far from pushing graphical quality, just like their previous games. It looks barely last gen.

[ElvisHuxley]

Average? Game looks amazing.

[BlaqMagiq1]

So current gen are the only ones getting 60fps. Fine by me. Day 1 buy for me.

[MajorLazer]

This is open world tbf. The previous games were semi-open but still linear ultimately, and even then BB/DS3/Sekiro were 30fps on last gen.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Yeah I guess you could call this a technical achievement for From Software.

[BoneMagnus]

QUESTION: If I buy it on the PS4 with plans to upgrade to PS5 version later, does it matter what format I buy it in for the PS4 - physical or digital?

[ElvisHuxley]

No, I've played many digital ps4 games on my PS5. Prefer physical myself though.

[BoneMagnus]

Great - thanks!

[VenomCarnage89]

Elvis is right that you can upgrade either way no problem, but just a heads up the discs can have an annoying caveat. I bought a few PS4 discs that got PS5 upgrades, after that happened I deleted the PS4 game in favor of the PS5 version, but every time I insert the disc it redownloads the PS4 version, so I end up with 2 icons of that game next to one another. Small annoyance, but potentially worth knowing about. Games like that I go digital now

[BoneMagnus]

Thanks for the tip - good to know!

[ElvisHuxley]

Game looks phenomenal.

[porkChop]

Wow that chart is terrible. So confusing.

[Eonjay]

Yes itt pretty poor and confusing. Plus the totally slept on including performance mode.

[anubusgold]

Why lock the PC to 60? Guys with a 3090 wont be happy with that

[MadLad]

There's always ways around that, unless they coded the thing poorly, and locked animations to the framerate.

[Anomander]

PC day one since I want to play it on Ultra Wide. Once it hits a sale on console I pick it up on Series X.
