PS5 Game Performance is just awful and unplayable

Quick update on my Xbox Series S experience. In cities or low-action areas, the game runs okay with good FPS. However, in the endgame with crowded scenes and lots of mobs (I’m running a Grenade Mercenary build), my FPS drops back to 20 FPS on normal settings (like before the update). It is just no playable. Fortunately, I haven’t experienced extreme drops to 5 FPS like others have reported, must feel like a powerpoint slide show. Still, I imagine playing as a Mage with 2-3 teammates could push mine probably below 20 FPS easily.

I’ve started playing Diablo 4, and it’s a relief for my eyes in comparison—it’s genuinely fun. Once the FPS issues on consoles are fixed and the endgame runs at a stable 50-60 FPS, I’ll be excited to return to POE2.

Thanks for your reports. We are currently investigating issues with performance on all platforms.

Please prioritize screen tearing issues on PS5.

Exactly that!

On the PS5 Pro, performance isn't too bad, but screen tearing is a nightmare. I think it mostly affects users with 60Hz TVs because my friend claims he doesn’t have that problem, whereas for me, it’s just terrible.

Highly disappointed. Game is completely unplayable. And you charged for this BS? I have little no issues with other games but PoE is completely broken. Fix your shit

I've found the performance to be greatly improved on the 5pro after the patch with both the frame rate and tearing. I haven't done the dense maps yet, so maybe it's worse there.

After the patch its better on PS5 PRO but still screen tearing and when in a breach or ritual its still a nightmare fps drops to like 5 maybe. I havent messed with my settings though i will try that bc i have it set to 120hz pssr highest level so if you drop it to maybe 1440 or 1080 60hz might play better ill test it later.

TS here.
No changes for Ps5base in performance. The best quality/fps ratio I have found is NIS+1440p. Good image, performance on the most maps is okay. Some maps runs just horrible.
GGG, we still need A LOT of performance attention. PS5, even base, is very good console. Your game is beautiful, but not so beautiful as some games that runs on stable 60fps with "performance mode".

PS5,

Before the patch I had an ok expirience, some FPS drops here and there but it was playable.

After the patch, endgame maps are basicly an unplayable mess.. mobs Just flying around the screen, turning invicible, lagging and glitching all around.

Tried tempering with different settings, ultra performance etc.. ping is stable, but the FPS is jumping around like crazy.

Nothing is helping, hope we get a quickfix soon. Had so much fun with the game until now :(

I would also add the change after patch to hold L3 to see item tiers for horrible.

My game is self pausing now constantly for no reason at all. Please fix!

End game is like 10fps on consoles...especially for Witch with minions

If they will continue to behave like this with console players, they will lose all current consoles audience(=money) and for sure no one who own consoles and wanna play on consoles will believe them when the time of PoE3 will come. Current consoles team is worthless, that is the fact. And current level of openness and transparency with console audience is just awful.

They even broke the L3-R3 buttons, that is mean that they're not playing their game on consoles at all. Managing items and inventory on controller feels very bad.
