However, even with all these issues, image quality on PC is at least noticeably better than on PlayStation, primarily due to DLSS (if available) being generally better than the FSR 2.1 used on PS5 and the internal resolution on PC being much higher.ĭynamic resolution scaling (DRS) is another rare inclusion for a PC port, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work correctly in either the launch or patched versions of the game. Even the game’s TAA at native resolution has issues, with ghosting exhibited on particles, much like FSR. XeSS interacts with depth of field in an even worse manner, with massive flickering issues that surely must be patched.ĭLSS is probably the best option here, but it and XeSS both exhibit problems with single pixel specular effects when motion blur is enabled these pixels are dragged out into lines by the motion blur, as if a firefly filter is disengaged. Elsewhere, movement and disocclusion artefacts are present, and post process blurs such as depth of field have a pixelated look to them, as if they're not being reconstructed. Here's the full DF tech review of Forspoken in video form.įor example, FSR image resolve exhibits problems with transparency effects such as particles, so things like fire can look much worse with FSR compared to DLSS or XeSS. DLSS (2.4.12), FSR (2.1) and even XeSS are provided depending on your GPU, but despite being a net positive each suffers from some issues. But while it’s great that these options are there, these PC niceties fall down in their execution. There is a comprehensive settings menu with options for selecting image reconstruction techniques, dynamic resolution, ray-traced ambient occlusion (RTAO) and even an in-game benchmark. On first boot though, Forspoken on PC provides a positive first impression. So here’s what you need to know, including how the PC version compares to the game on PS5, a look at how DirectStorage cuts loading times and optimised settings to boost performance. However, there are also some serious issues unique to the PC release that need to be addressed. We’ll get into the gory details shortly, but the good news is that the PC version does play better than the PS5 version - at least on high-end hardware. Forspoken’s launch on PlayStation 5 was rocky from a technical perspective, with uneven visuals and inconsistent performance, so I wondered whether the PC version could be the panacea to all of the woes John touched on in his DF tech review.
