As of today’s release, it’s also clear how Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will actually work on each console.
Today, August 25th, Alien: Fireteam Elite 2 launches – not just for PC, but also for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. But technically speaking, how does the game actually work on these platforms? The situation in this regard is now clear.
After Cold Iron Studios has kept the matter low-key so far, there’s now solid news about resolution and framerate. The new game runs at 1440p resolution on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, with a stable frame rate of 60 fps.
However, on the more powerful PS5 Pro, you can even expect 4K resolution at 60 fps. Of course, the weaker Xbox Series S performed the worst, reaching only 1080p and 30 fps.
In this context, the developers emphasize that being able to implement these values in detail in a 4-player game is definitely a challenge. This requires a lot of tweaking and work. For example, cryogenic mines and flamethrowers will have the biggest impact on performance when you’re fighting against real hordes of enemies. Optimized specifically for these scenes – from effects to rendering.
