Here’s a heck of a sentence: Manifold Garden is getting a timed exclusive next-gen upgrade on Xbox Series S|X, which means… Well, it means there’ll eventually be a free PlayStation 5 version for existing owners of the game, but you’ll need to wait a while. To be fair, a producer for the title explained that this is all down to resources, rather than money hats: “We weren't offered any money,” user Syrenne assured on ResetEra. “This was just a decision because of limited resources and only having five people working full time on the team.”
The game will run at 60 frames-per-second in 4K, which is presumably the kind of performance we can expect from Sony’s next-gen console as well. We liked the game when we reviewed the PS4 version earlier in the year, describing it as a “visual treat”. Hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy that radiant presentation on PS5 in the not-too distant future.

I'd hold off the "4k 60fps" if I were you based on what we're seeing from the more powerful console than PS5. Early results are.....yikes.
Lol no money given, is that why you chose the least popular platform and utilising a 'feature' that MS have been trying to push?
Playing devils advocate maybe they just chose the machine that was easier to get a higher performance from...🤔
@Ggmate Actually "And experience swinging through New York and combat as an experienced Spider-Man with an optional performance mode that takes advantage of Insomniac’s temporal injection for dynamic 4K/60fps*."
Taken directly from the Playstation Spiderman page.
So no, it can't.
In fact it can't even do 4k/30 in the higher quality mode.
" Experience the critically acclaimed hit with updated graphical assets and in stunning dynamic 4K/HDR*"
@Ggmate no reason to pay attention to him. All he does is troll Sony or say how much better PC is.
"Next-gen timed exclusive upgrade" 🙄 why does it feel like this is going to be the new Marketing trend.
I own this, but haven't played it yet. I'll just table it until it gets patched. I have plenty to play until then.
They have limited resources, so they choose to focus on the platform with a smaller install base. Makes sense.
@Menchi
Dynamic resolution can mean 1080p occasionally hitting 4K when looking at the floor. It can also mean 4K with a couple frames per second dropped when massive explosions happen with a huge boss and lots of enemies...
Pretty much every 4K game on ps5 AND Series X will be using dynamic res because it’s very foolish not to. It means nothing until we measure performance.
@Ggmate Here, scroll down, it's literally on their product page on the Sony website.

@thefourfoldroot Right, that's exactly what I said. Dynamic 4k, where if it drops a single horizonal line of resolution for a second, it isn't running at 4k/30/60. I'm not here to debate what games "should" do, it's what they can or can't do. And this cannot run at full 4k/30/60 100% of the time.
@Menchi
If a game can run 4K 60fps all the time, it is a very poorly designed game, leaving potential on the table for the sake of not having a single dropped frame or indistinguishable res drop for a second in high stress scenarios.
Your dogma is not needed in game design thank you.
@thefourfoldroot Cold hard numbers are facts, not sure why they upset you.
@Menchi
Just trying to educate you bud. Not sure why you are so resistant to reason. Let me try to spell it out simply just one more time:
Dynamic res is good. It means you can improve graphical effects and on screen density. If dynamic res is not implemented then you are targeting the 0.00001% of the time that the cpu is pushed abnormally hard at the expense of the vast majority of play time. Drops in res are usually barely noticeable for the brief time they happen. Also, if dynamic res is not used, wave goodbye to future generations of consoles improving past games.
Your dogmatic view of dynamic res technology showing a weakness in the PS5 and Series X/S hardware is simply ridiculous.
@thefourfoldroot I'm just providing facts and numbers, I'm not interested in damage control.
@Menchi
Or learning apparently. Fine, stay mired in your ignorance if it makes you feel important mate, the rest of us will just laugh at you.
