This is news that had not necessarily been announced and that we had not seen coming. We knew that the new update deployed by Sony brought quite a few changes, whether at the level of the interface, the menus, but also by unlocking the possibility of integrating an internal hard drive into its PS5.
Well DigitalFoundry carried out a battery of additional tests and the finding is unequivocal, some games benefit from a gain in fluidity.
Yes yes! It seems like the PS5 gains in optimization, although she was already doing very well in this area thanks in particular to its “magic SSD”. This is therefore good news and it could well be useful for the rest of the new-gen. However don’t expect a huge gap either, here we’re only talking about a handful of FPS.
The founder of DigitalFoundryRichard Leadbetterexpressed himself on the subject by concluding that games tested run 1-3% faster. “In very selective scenarios, it seems that all PlayStation 5s run faster than before with this new firmware.” He qualifies, however, by arguing that the tests carried out have with a margin of error of 1%. For example, this represents a gain of 1 or 2 FPS on Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition.
A good point for the PS5 even here this change will be almost undetectable to the naked eyeexcept for the Jean-Michel PGM followers of the arms race and the specialists in “youtuberie.”
