@Frmknst I wouldn’t call it trash. It was a mobile game was now released on the consoles. It’s a nice little fun/street racer like the old NFS titles. Sure games like Forza Horizon and The Crew are much much better but that’s not a reason to call this trash.

@Kiefer-Sutherland it’s always in between as so often. The topic itself is worth to be covered and we should expect better these days but it won’t be as terrible as some comments are describing it.

30 bucks for it would have been too much but as a free game you will have some fun with it.
Otherwise thinking that you can get The Crew Motorfest on disc for around 15 bucks and you have a much better game.

Nice. Worked for Germany. Curious to see if they roll it back afterwards.

Bought the Alan Wake 2 deluxe edition with all the DLCs for 23,99€

Pretty sad for this otherwise fantastic remake. I would guess there will be a day 1 patch but I wouldn’t put too much hope that this patch could magically iron out all these heavy framerate dips.

@Jaz007 why is it shady business practice?

I don’t know, probably this might be some surprising good game but so far everything that I’ve seen from it doesn’t want me to spend time or money for it.

@TrollOfWar don’t think so. Ms simply didn’t want to put effort in ps5 versions during that time.

@peewee78368 probably you got the game also digital over ps plus or something?
The FAQ says that disc owners need to wait longer.
Will try it with the disc later today.

@Oram77 former times but I loved that one on the Xbox 360

Do a proper remake or at least a port of Max Payne 3 as well please

Have the ps4 disc version of part 1 here on my backlog since years. Baught the version as a used one years ago.
This now finally come to its full glory with the ps5 version

@Rich33 50 bucks, cheaper than other games but I wouldn’t call it cheap.

@Rich33 ok at least. Sounds good, thanks for the reply

@get2sammyb are cutscenes running with 30 fps or is it possible to let them run in a higher framerate on the consoles?
Day-1 patch wasn’t really clear in this regard for the consoles.

Sounds good. Important for such a fast paced multiplayer game.

@Brundleflies21 hahahaha

@SeaDaVie Pure Xbox 😅

Limp Bizkit 😍
Looks good

@Greifchen being positive can’t be the case these days in the comment section.
There’s so FC 26, no GTA 6 included. Weak month! 😆

How is the performance on ps5 base and pro after all these patches?

This is a dead game. 1-2 further patches and that’s it.

Translation PR -> English:
When the game is successful enough they will definitely think about it but for the moment there is nothing they want to announce.

This one is coming unexpected. Still some way to go until December.
Hopefully they are finally able to fix the PSSR issues on the pro in this game.

Ps5 pro
It was a good upgrade

Interesting article. Hoping for the best.
At least a 40 fps mode on the base ps5 and the pro should make a lot of people pretty happy. If they are going to achieve more, especially on the pro it’s of course highly welcome.

@nomither6 ps3 pro also had a lot of performance issues due to some bottlenecks.

@Hypoman there are no new options. They overhauled the preview screens a little bit. That’s all. Really not a huge change.

@Bamila it’s no Pro support as we would expect with a better upscaler like PSSR or an enhanced fidelity mode. Nevertheless it runs a bit better on the pro with a higher dynamic resolution. So in some way you benefit from the pro also for this game but it could be more for sure.

With VRR activated the game now seems to run with an unlocked framerate.
Performance mode usually between 60-80 fps on the pro.
Quality mode seems to run around 40 fps, which could make the mode much more attractive for many gamers.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare definitely. An update to FSR 3 or PSSR would help with the image quality. A 40 fps mode for the quality mode should also work at least for the ps5 pro. But I guess we’re too late in lifecycle of this game to see these features added.
Still having a glimpse of hope that the improved VRR support unlocks the framerate.

@Gremio108 yeah for sure. Game is already „completely“ patched. These new additions in 2.3 are nice to have but by far not impressive. Perfect start to begin the game with version 2.2.

@lazarus11 ah okay. Still Strange. 5 years or more than 3 years after the current gen release and we have better HDR settings and proper VRR xD
Alright.

Hype for this update was probably a bit too big when we see how it turns out now.
Nevertheless nice to see some improvements. VRR could mean it’s a bit smoother and we might have an unlocked framerate especially on the pro? Thought a VRR in general was already active in that game…
An FSR update in consoles would have been nice but I guess we won’t see this for an 5 almost 5 year old game at this point.

@dodgykebaab Bad Bad Sony won’t do this

Regular security updates. Same as on nearly any other kind of hardware. All fine

@Exerion76 due to Xbox fanboys the story currently is that MS carries more or less the PlayStation with it‘s games because they are all so heavily successful.

No surprise. Could be a good game with some further patches.

@Toot1st slightly too low xD
Again no one said that Sony is perfect or never had fails but I hope you get my point regarding the Xbox userbase, beside any fanboy stuff or brand loyalty.

@Ernie for sure the pass isn’t for free but it’s not on par with paying 50-80 bucks for a game. Usually Xbox players wait that games launch in game pass. You see this in the terrible low sales figures for 3rd party games on Xbox and the fact that some games not even launching physically for Xbox.

@JustinTimberlake your future sex album was so good man. You definitely got the money to purchase those games but think about all the other Xbox gamers who rely only on GamePass and not having those world wide hits.

@Questionable_Duck ok, probably some trade off deal for getting Gears or whatever. But as I said, sales with be terrible low nevertheless on the Xbox.

@Lock_Dock122 I can only assume that Sony helped Arrowhead to push the game and had some kind of exclusive deal for a limited time. Arrowhead is independent from Sony and it’s their game. I understand that they are looking to extend the userbase.
Welcome these couple of thousand people on Xbox who probably are willing to pay for the game.

Hmm sales will be disappointing anyway. It’s a regular release on the Xbox, the game won’t be included in the game pass.
Xbox audience is already relatively small and then buying a game… not many of them will be willing to pay for a game.

Don’t get acquired by Ms… that’s the main recommendation you can give them.

If it’s not on Game Pass most Xbox user won’t buy/play it anyway.

It took a looooong time but it’s still funny and a nice gimmick from Arrowhead.

Have the ps4 disc version of the game laying around since a couple of years here… the ps5 upgrade might be the reason to finally jump into the game.

@Dan-The-Van doesn’t seem so
