Control Ultimate Edition: PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S - 60FPS and Ray Tracing Modes Tested

What I like about the PC is that it's always on FPS+Graphics mode all the time and doesn't suffer framrate drops!

FUCK ray tracing.
Give me 60fps every time.

I find it unplayable in rt mode on ps5, as soon as you rotate your view its a slow blurry mess.

Idk, they should add it just enough without sacrificing pleasure and easiness on the eyes and head.

Its no use otherwise, spiderman does it ok with 60fps and some rt.

For me no other choice than performance mode.

Unless my ps5 is defective, it seems less than 30fps, or mb im jsut used now to 60 idk.

how the hell is it 2 years later and this "next gen" has struggled to get off its feet, like i understand that developers really need to get used to the new hardware, happens to every console generation...but COME ON ITS BEEN 3 YEARS

All I want is to play this game without the poor FPS but I think I’m asking for the whole damn world by wanting that at this point

Meanwhile playing the game on 60 FPS with rayrtracing on rtx 3060 at 1440p.. LOL
So glad I moved from console to PC (even though it's a laptop not even a full speced out PC0

I know I'm REALLY late asking this. But I'd like to know the full list of equivalent graphics settings from Series X Graphics Mode to try to match the settings on my PC. Just so that I can kinda do a comparison between the two. I don't really have an eye for it, myself. Does anyone know if they are listed anywhere? I haven't been able to find them on Reddit or anywhere else.

Does the game now support VRR?

The N64 was 15 FPS on Goldeneye....let that sink in lol

I bought the XSX version but it still is xbox one version In My library =(

Why dont they offer 1080p 60fps ray trace mode?

Love your reviews, you guys do a really fantastic job of laying everything out there. Actually, just finished your Elden Ring performance review, very well done.

Next gen struggling on this game is a bad sign of what’s to come for these consoles what a shame

currently playing this at over 100fps with full ray tracing. Forget PS5 just get a PC instead.

This is one of the better feeling 30 FPS games. I can deal with the 30 FPS on this game with RT

I cant wait for the next ps5 pro. I want to play games with 4k amd 60 fps. Im tired of having to choose. Forbidden west managed to make there performace mode look damn near like there fidelity mode now. Maybe control can do the same. I feel like im still in the ps4 pro days having to aacrifice fidelity for 60 fps...kinda annoying.

Playstation is flat out the more powerful of the 2 no doubt. In every game it is the same results.

Vrr now ps5 😀

Great video as always guys, did Remedy "remedy" the stutters and other issues you found and shared with them? Excited to try this on the XSX as the game just went on sale, 60% off

Great video. FPS dips should now, with VRR, not as bad as they're used to be.

Were the Xbox stutters ever fixed via a patch?

It's on sale right for Xbox, 12 USD or something like that.

It might be ironic to say such a thing since I bought it, but I am weirdly not disappointed in purchasing the ultimate edition on Series X at 13 dollars. I say weirdly because I would generally be quite disappointed considering I feel this is more or less merely a jump to 60fps over the Xbox One X version I went through, but the 60fps is enough of an improvement (alongside loading times to get into the game and of the map) that it helps me appreciate and enjoy the game slightly more. I also bought Alan Wake Remaster, and now these games feel a lot more alike than ever before, and that's good. Honestly, Control disappointed me. My favorite parts were just when anything surrounding Alan Wake was mentioned. Ahti and some of the Old House stuff were interesting, but ultimately I felt Jesse's journey/story was underwhelming, the characters were uninteresting and their robotic animations made it worse; the music wasn't doing it for me, and the gunplay was just decent. Now, my feelings are a bit warmer on it in some respects. Oh and I don't care for the ray tracing enough to sacrifice frame rate. Since this video and its release, they have fixed the stutter issues and added HDR support which works similar to auto-HDR, so the brightness slider should stay at default.

How did the Xbox load faster with a slower SSD?

No matter how good a game looks, 30 fps is not enough anymore. I got a ps5 just for the exclusives (horizon, god of war, etc) since PC have Xbox Exclusives, but yeah most of my games are on PC. So I am kinda spoiled on the 100fps+ all the time that's why anything below 60fps feels off to me. I hope devs give more options in games on modern consoles, I mean you have 8K and 4k120 printed on the box and yet you still doing upscaled 1440p@30fps for RT modes ? come on.

I get an error on series x for this game. Game doesn’t start up. I’ve installed the base game and two dlcs.

After 60fps, 30fps just feels like a slide show. Ray tracing is not ready for prime time on consoles. Not worth the sacrifice on performance.

Issue in series x is asset streaming in memory as dx operates in a quick momentum that overloads cpu in that moment hen tries max data load and bandwidth cannot load it so it falls under normal transfer load ps5 has better bandwidth.

Lazy job by Remedy in the Series S version

Series S can run at 1080p... 900p was because a Bad Optimization, same thing the 1440p on Ps5/XSX, they could run at 2160p

Both of these new consoles crushed it this generation. Really can't go wrong with either. Admittedly Sony still has the better exclusives but the Xbox definitely has some amazing features like gamepass and quick resume. Currently gaming on the Series X (as a traditionally a PS loyalist) because it was easier to find. Definitely not regretting it although I will pick up a PS5 when I can.

this game was free for PS Plus users and $60 for Xbox users

How does the Ray Tracing in Control on PS5/X compare to RT on PC?

We need this version in gamepass. The another 30fps is too bad.

i wish they did a test, Xbox Series S vs PC!! i really wana see the Series S compare to a PC!!!

I was probably towards the middle-end on the PS4 version but stopped playing cause I got busy. Was lucky enough to snag a PS5 a few days ago and couldn't wait to resume with the upgrade... Only to find out I can't transfer my save file. 😩 I guess I'll just have to start over, which kinda sucks cause my time is a bit restricted and I have so much to catch up on already

These 'next gen' consoles can only do basic ray tracing at 30fps? Not so next-gen in my book and just not worth it. FPS is king.

Too bad, none of them have option for 1080p + 60fps + Raytracing.

I'm not seeing the graphics and performance modes in my display settings in game......why?

One aspect that sucks in this "new generation" of consoles is have to choose between ray tracing or 60FPS. You can't choose both. I hope future releases at least let the players play at 1080p 60FPS with Ray tracing.....

Idk if you mentioned it, but on Series S there is a lot of textures and mainly the signs that take a min to load in, sometimes not at all until you get right up to it and aim on it. This could use some touch up as well.

My first time playing Control was last night on the Series X in Graphics mode. And it looks so lifelike

Ray tracing is pretty, but 60fps makes this game so much better. I can't go back to 30fps.

God tier game

The fuck outta here disrespecting the series S . Literally has the same graphics card and CPU .. and running in 900 P ???? I saw a video with this running in 1080P on the series S . Stop

I want more series S videos

I’m curious to know how the launch Xbox One version disc will perform on a Series X vs the ultimate next gen upgrades? I’m guessing its on par with the One X? Is there any performance or graphics increase automatically or is it stuck and you have to buy the ultimate next gen version to get those features?
