Not a DF comparison, but yet again, both versions are nigh indistinguishable from one another, IMO.

Watch Dogs: Legion - PS5 vs Xbox Series X - Graphics & FPS comparison
- Thread starter Firmus_Anguis
- Start date
At 1:06 there are no reflections on the surface of the bridge on the Series X version, while they are there on the PS5.
At 9:30 the bottom right reflections on the water also look better on the PS5.
But other than reflections they look basically the same, but is hard to be sure because of YouTube terrible compression.

It's not raining at 1:06 at Xbox so no reflection. 9:30 is the same.

I updated the OP with comments from the creator of the comparison. RT is identical on both platforms.
The xbox series X version has a game breaking glitch that makes the game near impossible to play (which won't be fixed until December at the earliest). Even if the ps5 version was worse in this comparison it would still be the place to play right now.
This is the third game thus far that average dynamic resolutions tends to be a bit higher on PS5, well at least from what they say about differences. Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Dirt 5's was the same.
Leading up to the consoles releases this is the one aspect I thought would favor XSX in third party releases.

You are probably right, at 1:06 could be the weather. But at 9:30 the water reflections at the bottom right of the screen seems way better on the PS5. On the Series X they are barely visible. But that is a very minor detail.
We need to wait for Digital Foundry or Nxgamer to really have an idea about how they really compare.
Unfortunately no. Would have loved if the consoles attempted a non-RT 60 FPS mode.
What's the glitch? I've just started on XS but will hold off if necessary.
Two page thread incoming.
After the summary says PS5 had the higher average resolution it says...
PS5 has a higher average resolution (at least in the parts that I have compared it is noticeably better in some areas) on the other hand, the draw distance and the anisotropic filtering are higher on the SXS.
So I think it's safe to assume the reason why is obvious; and that's not a bad thing for Xbox all things considering.

These comparisons, so far, have been fairly in line with DF's own findings - So the results shouldn't be dismissed/ignored. But yes, I agree, for the full analysis, wait on DF.
If I'm not mistaken, this might be the closest the consoles have ever been. I think this is what we can expect moving forward - Basically identical games.
It's really the best case scenario.
My XSX box has Master Chief on the back but only 2 of the games I've played so far have Master Chief in it smh
Just because it says 120 on the box doesn't mean there can't be games aiming for 30fps and raytracing... There are many games with good 120fps modes.
Reading some of the responses in the Legion thread, it seems it randomly may not save your progress so people are literally losing hours when they exit the game or even worse you get a corrupted save file.
Woof, that is a huge buggy mess of an oversight.
I think we already know that al graphics settings are identical in these two versions. In the DF video about the Series X version, Alex pulled up all the console settings for each console from the PC ini files and they were like for like across the board.
I think Alex from Digital Foundry showed the settings for both consoles being the exact same using the PC version's .ini ( or similar) file, as it had presets for both of them.
Been tempted to pick this up on the X but too many reports of problems with it just now.

Huh? What has this to do with this game? Way more games than I ever expected support 120fps already and it's a blast.
The trade off being better draw distance and antriscopic filtering on the X. The differences here are essentially a standstill.
I do wonder why they decided not to offer a mode with no RT at 60fps, even if it was a lower res. Maybe patched later.
This guy is hit and miss with this stuff. He noticed differences that did not exist in AC.
DF already spotted in .ini files in the PC version that graphical settings are the same across the board on consoles.
Also ray tracing is bit lower than the low PC setting, hence why they were a bit disappointed.
What is left, if this comparison is accurate, is a higher average res on PS5.
Let's see what DF, NX and VG Tech have to say.
The figures for framerate and resolution on the boxes are theoretical maximums provided by the HDMI 2.1 spec. They aren't a promise that every game will hit all those maximums at once. Who would even believe that?
Ray tracing is lower than the low setting on PC? that is a bit disappointing. What is the res of ray traced reflections? below 1080p?
It was explained here:
Watch Dogs Legion - Xbox Series X/S Ray Tracing vs PC RTX - Features, Quality, Performance + More
Watch Dogs Legion is the first PC title supporting DirectX Ray Tracing to arrive on the next-gen consoles - and in this detailed analysis, Alex Battaglia sta...

Here's the settings:
Ray tracing internal res is 1080p on PS5/SX and 720p on Series S.
But they said the RT quality settings are custom and overall a bit lower than the low PC settings. They even tried to reproduce console settings on PC editing the config files in the PC version.
No way. There is an image with a PS5 and some wet, reflective road while the SX has only drab grey. Right there in the second post. There will be blood.
Meanwhile, the real question is: Why can't these AAA Ubisoft games ever crack 90% MC? Is it just lack of time or something else? Because as far as I can tell, this game isn't worth playing on either PS5, SX or PC for anyone who has a backlog and time constraints.
I cannot help but wonder. How much time does Ubisoft spend on their AAA development cycle? If Ubisoft spent 50% longer polishing their games to get them to Ghost of Tsushima levels, would they not sell 50% more games? Or maybe even double? Or triple? Would it truly cost them money to output higher quality software?
What I'm thinking is dev times for original AAA franchises should be close to 6 years, and no less than 4 years for a sequel that shares the same engine.

Quick resume is literally making me play valhalla less until it comes back. Easily the best feature on Xbox.
Best feature on any of my consoles. An actual game changer.
There is no question that it is more convenient to switch games without ejecting and plopping game discs every time.
Let me put on my SCE/Xbox CEO hat for a moment and talk monetization schemes:
What if Sony or Microsoft offered 2 versions of their digital games. A silver version, which costs 50% off. So Demon Souls would be $35 and Miles morales would be $25. The catch is that every time you switch games, you have to wait a mandatory 30 seconds "cool-down", just like Gacha mobile games.
And if you want to skip those 30 seconds, you have to buy the gold version of the game. Demons souls gold would be $70 and miles morales would be $50. Just like it is today. So no skin off your back, basically.
Would you buy gold or silver editions for your games? For all of them? Or would it be case by case, with games you expect to play for years purchased in gold, and the ones you think you'll play rarely in silver?
See this post. All settings are the same.
I don't get why people think these things mean every game will follow what's on the box, different developers make different decisions. Unless these people somehow want the developers to be forced to do it which is frankly rediculous.
This is not the same weather. :) Two consoles version have identical settings.
Oh wow I totally missed this. And we damn that's great confirmation on the settings being identical. Also interesting the Ray tracing is as expected to be quarter resolutions.
It's supposedly coming. Like a lot of next gen functionality, Quick Resume appears to be a work in progress. Sony and MS clearly weren't ready for launch.
Which doesn't work with Watchdogs..
Or did they patch the game? I didn't work last week.
Apparently one of the games like Valhalla that they're working on.
That draw distance looks like a pretty big difference but maybe it was just the example he chose (driving over a long bridge). I couldn't see the difference in resolution but ElAnalista seems like a pretty good channel so I trust them on that.
It's worth noting that some of these comparisons aren't identical conditions or time of day. There's a clock on the bottom left next to the minimap.
The 1X version also had some game breaking issue, right? Open world Ubisoft games are always so rushed out the door. I blame the publisher rather than the devs for that though.

I seldom switch games. So I can get cheap games and have almost zero downside? Lmao okay half priced games please
It should be a normal, common thing, like polygons and pixels. Not something that gets turned on and off on different consoles, let alone consoles released a week ago.
I've been a bad time with the feature because of how inconsistent it is. Playing mostly Gears, Yakuza, Tetris, FH4, and Watch Dogs, the batting average isn't good for me and the lack of any kind of warning / prompt telling me when to expect Quick Resume to work or not work is not helping. I see the potential in the feature for sure, but boy it really ain't there yet lol
Agree. Im using 16x AF on PC since ages without any performance drop and i have an old PC
Yep, it's under-cooked now. They need to tell you exactly which games are capable, and then when you've used it, they need to show you a list of current games that are in QR. I'd be surprised if all of that isn't already close to being ready for at least beta.
