Hitman 3 Prettiest on XSX; PS5 With Better Performance
Digital Foundry checked how Hitman 3 performs on PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S. IO Interactive's title runs in native 4K and 60fps on the XSX. The PS5 version only offers 1800p at the same frame rate.
- Hitman 3 runs on an improved version of the Glacier engine;
- Digital Foundry verified that the game runs in native 4K and 60 fps on Xbox Series X. The PS5 version offers 60fps in 1800p.
Hitman 3 on Xbox Series X runs in native 4K at 60 fps, wiith only occasional slight fps drops. The PlayStation 5 version also runs in 60fps, but at a lower 1800p resolution. The worst-performing game is Xbox Series S (unsurprisingly) - Hitman 3 runs in 1080p to maintain 60 fps.
Digital Foundry examines IO Interactive's latest game. The new Hitman is powered by the improved Glacier engine. This has enabled it to take advantage of next-gen consoles, which is reflected in the reviews.
Thanks to the above analysis, we learn that the Xbox Series X version is the best when it comes to image quality. In addition to higher resolution, the texture quality also compares favourably to the PS5 version. Sony console's edition offers smoother gameplay, losing frames less frequently.
A second video has also appeared, in which Digital Foundry focuses on a technical analysis of the Glacier engine, showing exactly what improvements it has received for next-gen consoles. If you're looking for anything more than a console power comparison, take a look at the video below.
