PC or PS5 better ?

[Jung_usm_Veedel]

Hello everyone,

I've had my eye on this game for a really long time.

Then I got sick and was out of action for quite a while, and now I have to watch my money a bit.

I now realize that this game has essentially evolved into a co-op game. There are so many changes that I think it's even better now than before.

BUT

I've read that a lot of people have problems with micro-stuttering. And I've actually seen it in gameplay videos on YouTube.

So my question, since I have to watch my money these days:

Does this problem only affect the PC, or does anyone have the game for the PS5 and can tell me if it's better?

My PC has an i5 14400f with 32 GB RAM and an RTX 4060.

So, PC or PS5?

I have a PC with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 3080ti and 32gb ram, but the game has micro stutters or load stutters due to the game engine being unreal 4, I got the game for my PS5 and its pretty much butter smooth, every so often you might see a small fps hiccup on the PS5 version but it's hardly noticeable.

So that said I would recommend the PS5 version, but there are people who don't have any issues on PC either. Also PS5 version runs at like 60fps too

Also on their X "twitter" account they posted a screenshot showing a Mods tab but idk if that's going to be for PC only or not.

Hope that answers your question and happy hunting!

Thank you for the detailed answer. I think I'll go for the PS5 version in this case. I generally prefer gaming on PC, but I want to avoid any problems.

Thanks again.

Quick update. So I bought the game for Sony's console and unfortunately, I have to say that the game's performance is really not good.

That's really, really unfortunate.
My PS5 is like new, barely used.
I bought it before my illness. Wayfinder is actually only my third game on the console.

Freeze frames lasting several seconds, that can't be right.

I should have bought it for PC.
Then I would at least have had the option to get a halfway decent gaming experience with various settings.

On the PS5, I only have quality mode or performance mode.

Or am I missing something?

Oh, that annoys me, because I actually really like what I see on the screen.

I haven't experienced any freeze frames lasting several seconds on my PS5 so I don't know what to tell you there either. An my PS5 is the first edition, not pro or slim.
I've played on both Quality and Performance with no glaring issues besides a few frame drops on the large open zones when it loads a new ♥♥♥♥♥ of area but nothing else.

Not sure why you're having that kind of issue, sorry

I just don't understand it. I get freezes in the open world, in instances, and even in the menu or when talking to NPCs. Sometimes it only lasts 2 seconds, and then sometimes almost 10, so I thought I had to restart.

It also makes no difference whether I use performance or quality, or whether I use the upscaling function or not.

I also tried testing the field of view; on PC, something like that can definitely make a difference. Unfortunately, no change.

No micro-stutters, just freezes that last for seconds.

Well, I was stupid. If I had bought it on Steam, I could have returned it if there were any problems and then tested it on the console.

I'm learning from this.
