God of War's 'Favor Performance' video mode will allow 60fps on PS5 and saves can be transferred from PS4 to PS5

- Start date
The framerate is a duh, but good news about saves.
Doesn't sound like they're bumping the resolution on performance mode, though, which I didn't really expect but man it would have been a nice thing to do.

I mean, PS4 Pro offered "Up to 60 FPS". Hopefully this means locked, would love to play it again.
Shame it seems there won't be a 4k 60 option.

what was the rez for that mode?
Edit: someone above said 1080p
Is that implying there's graphical improvements in a 30 fps mode or? I would think the PS5 would be able to handle the pro's improvements at 60
Also a duh on the saves really. We already know that PS4 game saves will work when playing the same game on PS5.
"We didn't really do anything here".
lol, I am sorry, but you could have at least have a dynamic res / unlocked fps mode.

Here I was expecting higher resolutions at 60fps but there is nothing new about this. It's literally the bare minimum when it comes to what backwards compatibility can do (i.e. more consistent unlocked framerates in games with 1080p 'performance modes')
As for save transfer, I'd be shocked if it didn't support it considering how every single other BC game will lol.

Awesome I'll gladly replay it, now if someone could just give me the full collection on ps5 please
"save transfer" is not news lol, it is a backward compat title so saves obviously still work. and the "up to 60 fps" part just shows that they didnt even bother trying to run the game to see if it sustains 60fps all the time (likely will, specially because it runs in full hd in that mode!).
This news is BC + Boost mode. TLOU2 would need to be updated to go above 30fps.
There was always an unlocked frame rate mode, it just never hit a solid 60. What was resolution in that mode? I'm more curious if this can hit a solid 4K/60, I'd kind of expect the PS5 to be able to brute force the unlocked frame rate to 60fps lol
I was thinking the same thing. Any unlocked PS4 games are gonna benefit, unless there's some weird extenuating circumstance.
Not that this will hit too many people, but I think they should be more clear that a paid PS+ subscription is needed for cloud access to any saves. When they use the "cross save" language, that normally doesn't mean "if you put your save file on external media, you can then use it on the other system in BC mode." :P
Good news.
Dumb question while we're at it: I have played through early parts of the PS4 disc version. Will I be able to continue where I stopped using the digital PS Plus Collection version on PS5? If yes, might as well sell my physical version.

Wasn't the game running on 4K dynamic resolution with performance mode but the difference is that the fps mode was unlocked? If I am correct then safe to say it should run with consistent resolution.
Sound good. I started the game a couple times but never got all that far and this is a great reason to jump back in on PS5 at some point before Ragnarok comes out.
So will there be a resolution increase as well? The performance mode is already unlocked on Pro @ 1080p.
Edit: This just sounds like regular BC.

I don't see why not. Both versions will leverage the same save profile.
yeah, tbh them calling that out as a feature just scares me lol.
No; it's the default. Save transfer is only really special in 'PS5 versions' since Sony doesn't have anything like Smart Delivery to do such a thing automatically.
