A new technical analysis shows that the overall stability of Silent Hill 2: Remastered is better on Xbox Series X than on PlayStation 5 - a performance that marks a significant change since the game suddenly launched on the Xbox platform.The game was launched on Xbox Series S and SeriesPrior to this, the game had been exclusive to the PS5 console for a full year. This unexpected landing on the Xbox platform has become a hot topic among fans who have been waiting for its cross-platform release.

Both PS5 and Xbox Series X offer two main visual modes, but there are differences in actual performance.The PS5's image quality mode targets dynamic 1440P resolution upsampled to 4K at 30 frames, while the performance mode targets dynamic 1080P resolution at 60 frames.However, both modes have stability issues, with frequent frame rate fluctuations and significant compromises in lighting quality, especially in high frame rate modes.PS5 Pro introduces PlayStation spectral resolution upsampling technology, upsampling the native 900P resolution to 4K, achieving a more stable 60-frame operation.Even so, the technology can still cause visual noise and flickering effects, affecting both Performance and Quality modes.

In comparison, Xbox Series X's frame rate performance is always more stable, and analysis shows that it is up to 10 frames higher than PS5 in similar modes.The Xbox Series S only offers one mode, running at settings close to PS5 Performance Mode, with a locked 30 frames.The optimization of both Xbox versions is relatively good, bringing players a smoother overall experience.
