Technical Breakdown
The PS5 version of “Night in the Woods” boasts a native 4K resolution, while the PS4 version is capped at 1080p. This resolution bump results in significantly increased detail and sharpness, particularly in distant objects and foliage. The PS5 version also features improved anti-aliasing, which reduces jagged edges and visual noise.
Frame Rate Optimization
The PS5 version of “Night in the Woods” runs at a consistent 60 frames per second (FPS), while the PS4 version is limited to 30 FPS. This doubled frame rate makes for a noticeably smoother and more responsive gameplay experience, especially during fast-paced combat sequences or platforming sections.
