It’s not. The performance on Elden Ring is pretty bad and not enough people talk about it. It’s a good game, but they really should have spent more time optimizing the game to run at 60fps on consoles. The games in the 40s-50s most of the time

Hardly anyone talks about it because it supports VRR, which means to most people who play the game it 'feels' like 60fps.

Most people don’t have a tv that supports VRR. And VRR shouldn’t be a fix for a badly optimized game.

And how many Elden Ring players have a TV with VRR? Because your "most people" stat is clearly from a reliable source I presume.

On ps5 it regularly falls under the vrr window of 48hz leading to a more choppy experience than on xbox where its 40hz but the best way to play on console is using the ps4 pro version on the ps5 leading to a somewhat solid 60

And why should I give a crap about PS5 on an Xbox sub?

It feels like 60fps on the Series X.

It doesnt but it feels consistent

That’s still better than 30. Playing the ps5 version of Elden Ring on performance mode seemed plenty good enough for me .

Choppy 60 is worse than 30 FPS unless VRR saves your ass.

Even then the pS5 version of VRR is worse than Xbox's so on XBSX it won't feel as bad.
