The same can't be said for Series S, however, with lower resolution shadows, pulled in LOD range and lower quality fallback reflections. A matching geometry LOD set-up is used, meaning that 'pop-in' - such as it is - is constant between the two systems. In terms of the rest of the game's visual make-up, Series X and PlayStation 5 are the same: texture quality is a match, shadow map resolution is the same.

#WATCH DOGS LEGION PS5 REVIEW 720P#
For Series S with its much lower 1080p target pixel-count, RT reflection resolution drops in step - reflections here are rendered internally at 720p instead, with the same reconstruction technique. The premium consoles target a dynamic 4K rendering resolution for the majority of the presentation, but reflections run at checkerboarded 1080p instead. Series S also has the same settings for its ray traced reflections, but with one crucial difference. This is most readily evident in side-by-side ray tracing comparisons - the RT effect is identical, but crucially, the cut-off for objects not in the reflection is also the same, meaning matched fidelity in the effect itself, but also identical compromises and optimisations. Yes, we're getting hardware RT on a £250/$250 console.īut to address the most burning question, I can confirm right away that Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 do indeed run with practically identical visual settings - an almost complete match for the details locked away in the PC version's configuration files (which don't just include PC settings, but every single version).
The cross-platform comparison between the next generation machines isn't the most interesting head-to-head we've seen so far - PS5 and Xbox Series X are very, very close - but it's great to see ray traced reflections appear on Xbox Series S.
Featuring a beautifully rendered open world recreating one of the world's most iconic cities, while leaning heavily into hardware accelerated ray tracing, Watch Dogs: Legion is one of the most technically ambitious games for the current cross generation period.
