The pixel wizards at Digital Foundry have put The First Descendant‘s FSR 3 modes under the microscope for its latest video, revealing the PS5 version outperforms the Xbox Series X edition of the game in this respect.

AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation is a software based technique that allows supported titles to add additional frames into the existing render, resulting in a visually smoother experience though this is sometimes at the expense of latency and overall responsiveness.

DF did a direct comparison between the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of The First Descendant, with both Frame Gun and Fidelity Mode active, which revealed that “PS5 has the lead in every test.” Furthermore, it adds that the “PS5 reading is often 10 frames per second higher, and sometimes beyond that.”

The First Descendant launched for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on July 2, 2024. The game has already been a pretty major success for Nexon Games, having pulled in 10 million players in its first week alone, and a new update released this week has introduced a number key feature including increasing the module storage limit.
