Overwatch: Xbox One X vs PS4 PRO Head To Head Graphics Comparison

4.1
Overwatch recently got patched to support the Xbox One X. Weighing in at 650 MB, does the patch ensure that Overwatch runs at a native 4K resolution at all times on the Xbox One X? Let’s find out.

To begin with, the PlayStation 4 Pro version renders the game at a straight 1920 X 1080 resolution. Blizzard’s efforts on this front has been rather disappointing as we believe that the PS4 Pro is definitely more than capable to run Overwatch at a higher resolution than that. Some sort of a checkerboard rendering to 1800p would have been appreciated but as it stands right now, the PS4 Pro version improves marginally over its base version. In comparison to the Xbox One X, the difference is even larger.

Overwatch runs at a dynamic 4K resolution on the Xbox One X. This means that we get some gameplay sequences at 3840 X 2160, however since a dynamic scaler has been implemented, the resolution drops down from its native value at times. This kind of set up immediately gives the Xbox One X a huge advantage in terms of image quality over the PS4 Pro build, which by the way isn’t the Pro’s fault by any means.

Other than the differences between the pixel count, the Xbox One X also features slightly higher shadow quality and better texture filtering in some places, however the other core assets remain 1:1 across both versions. Just like the base versions, both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X run Overwatch in almost flawless 60fps. The frame rate on both consoles are excellent and we rarely witnessed a situation where there were drastic performance drops.

So there we have it. Overwatch on the Xbox One X, quite clearly comes on top here. The PS4 Pro version, unfortunately, suffers from the lack of proper support. At this point in time, the Xbox One X is the best console to play Overwatch. Hopefully, Blizzard can patch out the PS4 Pro version with improved resolution in the future.

Sakon They look pretty much the exact same, personally I think it just comes down to what console you like better.


It's always been preference. Never has one been better than the other, not enough to warrant one over another anyway. Both have their perks, both have their disadvantages.


That's not a fair comparison; Xbox has had a chance to chose the best performance after all it was released after.

Thats exactly what it is. Either you want to buy the game for exclusives, or how the User Interface is, to even what console has more friends on it.

Mike I think Xbox One X was Better but I could be bias!


I think they look the same... Not much of a difference in the consoles and visuals.


They really are the same if you sit down with both of them. It is just personal preference really. I will always pick xbox because that is what i have always had.


Xbox is my go-to console too. Although Playstation is a really great console with many exclusives and features that the Xbox One doesnt. Ive always been an xbox fan and always have had the consoles they've released.


Exactly the same for me. I have always had an Xbox since the original. Xbox has just been it for me. I have played multiple playstations and yeah they are good ir whatever but if I had a choice I would pick Xbox all day.

Yeah, the Xbox One X does have the upperhand. Which stinks, hopefully they can beef it up on teh PS4 Pro. That is my daily driver.
