PS5 Performance is atrocious - 20-30 FPS in battles and cities

Playing since launch day and it's really not well optimized. I set the resolution to HD (1920x1080) but still cannot perform well when all grenades explodes.

If this doesn't get fixed, unfortunately I will have to wait for PS6 to play this game properly.

Don't know if XBOX series X have the same performance issue.

Unfortunatly it's pretty bad indeed, I don't know about the PS5 Pro, if just adds the PS DLS like setting or improves performance as well, but the base PS5 in intense battles is a framedrop festival. Had to change to FSR balanced to be able to play. It's blurry as f.. but at least is more stable.

Agree - I don’t like to make comparisons but others ARPGs doesn’t look worse than POE2 but they perform much smoother with hundreds of particles and effects on the screen.

Please also post about it in this thread, as it is most popular about performance:

And hopefully soon we will have response from developers. Unfortunately since act3 where there is more mobs, effects and spells game is virtually unplayable.

Performance is bad on PS5 Pro as well. 80-ish FPS is most locations and in most situations, but during intense combat and in the act 2 camp it drops to 20-30.

It needs to be fixed or else people won't be sticking around.

Thank you, BrainProof - I posted there also.

the game is amazing but performance should not be this bad, especially when the competition (D4) runs smoothly with 60FPS on world bosses with many many players doing loads of attacks and stuff.

and the thing is it looks terrible on console as well! if it looked as good as it does on pc and had performance problems thatd be one thing but depending on settings its either crunchy ugly jagged lines everywhere or a blurry smudgey mess! theres no reason it should be looking and running this bad i can only hope its an early access issue and theyve done like literally zero attempts on optimization. not to mention the constant waves of screen tearing.

i wonder what people expect. it's basically the same shitty cpu like in the base ps5 which is bottlnecking...

it's especially bad in the trials of sekhema

It's the one thing that Diablo 4 >>>>> POE2.... PS5 performance is not even close.

D4 is smooth as butter even w/ a full team of 4. If I even try to team w/ one person in PoE2 I'm dropping textures left and right, my FR is like 10 and the screen tears like a mofo.

It's a mess and honestly not in a state that I would consider release ready.
