Also on test this month

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition

With plenty of devilish fun on the horizon in the form of Diablo IV and Diablo II’s remasters, it’s a great time to turn the heat up. Diablo III’s 60fps target on PS4 is now locked on PS5, as is the dynamic 2160p resolution (besides some lower-resolution UI elements).

The Last Guardian

Want this beautiful Team Ico game to leap up in framerate? You’re in luck, as on PS5, this runs at a weasel-slick 60fps. The catch? It only works on unpatched versions of the game, meaning you’ll need a disc copy and to cancel updates to access its 1.0 build.

Mass Effect Andromeda

Want to jump from playing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition to the fourth game? You’re well served here, as PS5 brings across the PS4 Pro improvements. However, it’s still an 1800 checkerboard resolution and 30fps – it just meets those goals a bit more regularly.

Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris

Start up the game and you might think you’re onto a winner. Out of the box, the framerate is much improved at a stable 60fps. But, as warned, the graphical glitches keep coming the more you play, resulting in some nasty lines across the screen. A bit of a shame.

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty

Disappointed by the recent Soulstorm? As a remake of the original game, New ‘n’ Tasty offers some classic Oddworld action, and on PS5 you get it at a stable 60fps (besides cutscenes, as expected). It’s still 1080p, but feels tasty to play on the hardware, even if it’s not so new.
