However, while the Xbox Series X took longer to load the game initially (almost a minute), fast travel time was exactly the same.ĭevil May Cry 5: Special Edition told a similar story, although this time, I was able to discern some slight differences in the lighting. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla went from the main menu into the game in less than a minute fast travel took less than 10 seconds from point to point. The latter is a fast, frenetic action game, where any drop in framerate is immediately noticeable.įirst: Sony’s ambitious claims about the PS5’s load times aren’t exaggerated, as far as I can tell. The former is a huge open-world title, where it’s easy to measure load times as you fast travel from one distant point of the map to another. While the Tom’s Guide crew works from home indefinitely, we don’t have the tools to measure resolution and frame rate in great depth, nor can we watch games side-by-side or even solicit second opinions.īearing that in mind, I compared two games qualitatively across both systems: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition. Xbox Series X: PerformanceĬomparing PS5 and Xbox Series X performance is difficult at present. But restricting ourselves to what we can play and review right now, the PS5 has the stronger lineup. Of course, both systems will also have some interesting games coming down the line. Halo Infinite (Image credit: 343 Industries)

Check out the performance section to see how this hardware performs in action. However, we can say that the Xbox Series X has more powerful hardware, in terms of both GPU and SSD. While the specs are handy to know, they only tell part of the story when it comes to performance.
