bungeebehind the studio Fate 2 and the elderly Hello Games, has a public service announcement for all the PlayStation 5 Guardians: Double-check that you’re actually playing the PS5 version of the game and not the PS4 version! Don’t feel bad if you’re playing the wrong version, Sony has done a terrible job with all of this stuff.

Fate 2.’s Next Generation Ports Launched PS5 And Xbox Series X/S consoles in 2020. While they weren’t the new The games, were improved versions of the old-gen originals, with higher resolutions and 60 frames per second support. It loaded faster and felt faster overall than the PS4 or Xbox One versions. So most players made the free jump for the next generation versions of Fate 2, assuming they own a next-generation machine. On the Xbox this was easy. You just… download it Fate 2 On your Xbox Series X and that was it. On the PlayStation 5, things are not that easy and it seems like a “noticeable” number of fate Players on Sony’s fancy new console, in 2022, are still actually playing the old PS4 port and not the bred PS5 version of Bungie’s Shooter online.

In her weekly blog post,this week at Bungie, the studio included a small PSA about the situation, explaining that “a notable number of PS5 players” aren’t playing the next-gen port, but are stuck playing an older, slower PS4 version of the game. Destiny 2. To correct this, Bungie directed users towards Specific web page created by Sony To help explain how to download and install the correct version of your specific game on PS5.

While I’m sure of this PSA Some people will help, it’s another reminder of how far behind Sony is from Microsoft and Xbox Smart Connect System. They joked with me and many others about Smart Delivery at the time. “What a silly buzzword! Who cares!” We said. Now, it’s one of the best things in the Xbox ecosystem.

On Xbox, I never really think about these things. I just hit download and installed the correct version of the game on my device and everything saved and everything just… works. On the PS5, I have to search to install the correct version or in some cases, I have to Install both games To transfer saves between them. It feels like they were held together with duct tape and it doesn’t seem like a good way to deal with any of this. It won’t take you six steps to play the right game on the right console!

And while this is only going to become less and less an issue as fewer and fewer games are released across both console generations, it does make me nervous about how all this will work on the inevitable PlayStation 6.

In the meantime, for those still playing Fate 2 On Xbox One or PS4, Bungie also shared the news that the game’s memory footprint has been reduced by compressing some textures. I showed some comparison shots to show how little texture is affected by the new system and it looks good. Anything to help make games smaller The more efficient looks great to me!
