Xbox Series X certainly performs better than the PS5, but there’s a catch
Apparently, Ubisoft has improved Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s performance on the Series X through real-time rendering. The technique aims to deliver a more consistent frame rate at the cost of resolution.
Accordingly, resolutions on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla transitioned from 1400p to 1728p to 1188p to 2160p. Hence, the PlayStation 5 runs the game at a higher resolution, and the Xbox Series X offers a higher frame-rate. Having said that, the Xbox Series X lowers the game’s resolution only in certain situations, and players would not have to worry about it being a consistent issue.
