Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 impresses on Xbox Series X/S, but flags on PS5
Tom Morgan investigates Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on Xbox Series X, Series S and PS5. Why is the Sony platform underperforming in this title?
Watch on YouTube At 30fps, both PS5 and Series X manage to deliver an exceptionally stable performance, with only slight frame-time hitches during camera cuts in cutscenes and the odd blip as the dynamic resolution system springs into action to balance GPU load. That makes Space Marine 2 much easier to recommend on the Microsoft box than on Sony's machine for those with the luxury of choice, though neither delivers what we'd call close to a locked 60fps - dips are quite commonplace in the campaign, especially as the enemy count climbs. Our Space Marine 2 PC coverage will follow in due course, including Alex's optimised and console-equivalent settings - though with the game's heavy CPU dependence, increasing performance to a subtantial degree may require a hardware upgrade!
