The breakout hit of the year, Baldur’s Gate 3 has arrived on PlayStation 5 and… it’s pretty great actually! In the Digital Foundry tech review, we stack up the PS5 against the PC version, finding that the console version is effectively running at PC’s ultra settings. We look into frame-rates in the quality and performance modes and – yes – we see how the CPU-heavy Act 3 plays out on PS5 in both single and split-screen modes.
Many thanks to Mohammed Rayan for the PS5/PC console settings analysis.
