But beyond the surprise of the release, the community’s big question is: how does **Bethesda**’s RPG perform on **Sony**’s hardware—specifically on **the standard PS5** and **PS5 Pro**? YouTuber [ElAnalistaDeBits](https://www.youtube.com/@ElAnalistaDeBits) has done the comparison, and we’re going to discuss it! ## Starfield on PS5 vs PS5 Pro ## How did Starfield run on the PlayStation 5? ## **Resolution and Framerate: The Victory of Smoothness** The first major difference becomes apparent as soon as we look at the frame rate. The **base PS5** offers two distinct paths, while the **PS5 Pro** raises the bar: - **PS5 Quality:** Delivers **2160p** (4K with 1440p upscaling via FSR) targeting 40 FPS, ideal for those seeking fidelity on **120Hz** TVs and monitors. - **PS5 Performance:** Aims for **60 FPS**, but with a noticeably lower base resolution (ranging from **900p to 1080p**), resulting in a smoother image, though with more jagged edges. - **PS5 Pro (Enhanced Mode):** This is the sweet spot. Thanks to the use of **PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution)**, the Pro delivers an extremely sharp 4K image while maintaining superior performance, ranging between **70 and 80 FPS** in open and populated areas. ## Shadows and Lighting When analyzing the shadows on the ground and the contours of the spacesuit, the **PS5 Pro** demonstrates slightly more refined rendering. The shadows on **the base PS5** have edges with more artifacts and suffer from a slight "flicker" effect when in motion.

Additionally, ambient occlusion (the shadows in those corners) in indoor environments is much cleaner on the Pro, eliminating the gray graininess that sometimes appears on the base version.

On **the standard PS5**, **FSR**sometimes leaves "**ghosting**" behind the character, a notable flaw of **FSR**. On **the PS5 Pro**, however, **PSSR’s** use of **Artificial Intelligence** cleans up these imperfections, delivering texture sharpness that closely resembles native 4K seen on high-performance PCs, especially in the level of detail (**LOD**) of rocks and surfaces. ## **Geometry and Level of Detail (LOD)** While walking across planetary surfaces, we noticed that the **PS5 Pro** maintains the complexity of rocks and bushes at greater distances. While on the **PS5** you can notice a slight pop-in of grass as the character runs, the **Pro** maintains a much denser and more stable landscape on the horizon. **Starfield**looks great on both console models. If you’re just looking for the story experience, the **base PS5** in **40 FPS** mode delivers a solid and beautiful result. However, the **PS5 Pro** takes **Starfield** to the next level, as it is the only console capable of offering high visual clarity combined with smooth frame rates consistently above **60 FPS** most of the time. But regardless of the version, fun and exploration are guaranteed. **Check this out too:**[State of Decay 3 was just a “Word document” when it was announced](https://viciados.net/state-of-decay-3-documento-word-quando-anunciado/) Do you like **Portal Viciados**?
