PS5 and Series X load times comparison

Game	PS5 (Internal)	Xbox Series X (Internal)
Destiny 2 (pre-patch)	1:37	1:12
Final Fantasy XV	1:10	0:43
Red Dead Redemption 2	1:04	1:02
Monster Hunter World	0:51	0:29

Well, that was not expected. Link

I see you are out fishing again this morning Pedro 😂

@regnaston: Its always a good time to fish. This fish is a big one. 😁

Aw beat me to it. Yes this is old stuff not built for the tech, but it's not a good look and one would assume apples to apples the ps5 would "brute force" load them faster. The fact that it doesn't suggests there's a problem elsewhere in the pipeline that the X avoids

Today is the day tormy and griffy gets a heart attack.

I always memed the SSD, but i wasn't expecting that 🤣Not only is it much slower at loading, but UI isn't as snappy as the X's AND YOU CAN'T RESUME up to 6 games like X can.

Mark Cerny is a level 99 scammer 🤣

@Pedro: now a serious question, have the XSX games been optimized or are those times preoptimization

I was told by lead Sony fanny that developers don't need to do anything to take advantage of the BLAZING 2.5x speed of the SSD.

Which one is which ? Nevermind I needed to use desktop version of the website to see it.

Not that I am aware of.

@regnaston: No all those bc games are just brute forced by the XSX hardware, they don't use velocity architecture.

I don't see a source or context, so your post has been disqualified. #rigged #fraud

are you Donald Trump?? 😉

Updated just for you. So, you can now try a different strategy.😋

Guys, stop talking about loading screens. The SSD is not about how fast your game loads. No one cares about that, guys.

I demand a re-measure, this cannot be the case.

:)

I have been waiting about 3 minutes per game to find a lobby in the new map on PUBG .. waits can be fun ;)

I wonder if certain members would be missing in action?🤔

THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE SSD NEEDS TO BE UNLOCKED.

I give this sentense to tormy and griffy so they can damage control in peace.

More tests here, where PS5 does win some.

But overall its a big suprise.

@Pedro: But the drunk Tormentos alt told me the SSD would work magically.

I always thought and was 100% sure that PS5 was going to be faster at least few seconds faster all the time , but this now changes things and is a new indicator that not even that aspect the XSX is letting the PS5 get away with it.

Entirely dependent if a developer wants to use it to the best ability. We already know the lighting fast games will 95% apply to first party.

Surprising to the say the least i was wrong on this one no point on damage controlling.

@tormentos: Don't worry some games load faster at least the witcher 3 loads faster on PS5 and Yakuza

Ohhh my goooodness...

Cows, a break is nowhere in sight. lol :P

Mark Cerny told us that PlayStation 4 games are not going to benefit that much from the PS5 SSD and recommends storing our PS4 games on an external HDD.

Am I the only one who's lost as to why we're looking at backwards compatible titles as opposed to next gen games?

Lol you guys know Series X sucks, that's why you have to search high and low for negative PS5 news daily. Must suck.

Had feeling this might happen. Once I found out that the direct storage feature used in AMD new gpus was a Microsoft technology. Basically I’m thinking Sony didn’t want to use any Microsoft tech for the PS5 so they came up with that Ssd speed as an alternative to direct storage. Also it may explain why the ps5 is not full rdna2, the gpu more than likely is rdna 2 but Sony had to either cut or find alternatives to features that where based on MS technologies.

Prepatched? That is a bit surprising.

LOL is that the best you got :)

@SecretPolice: I prefer the fat meme

@Sagemode87: Stay salty.

Not surprising at all if you know how things actually work and aren't a dumb fanboy. You told everyone 5 seconds or less for RDR 2 and GTA V.....

@Pedro

There is no such thing as next generation games as of yet that's why.

lol :P

Red Dead Redemption 2 loads in 38 seconds on my Kingston A2000....

SSD bandwidth and cache size determine load times, not frequencies.

Smaller/slower SSD, Slower CPU and GPU, controller sounds interesting mind.

Why the hell have I gone and bought one :(

Damn, we've all been played.

Oof! This thread is gonna be entertaining lol.

Big improvements for Destiny on both is good to see. Will be interesting how much more they will improve once the upgrade is applied.

Will be more enjoyable playing through my backlog now with better load times, better picture and higher frame rates where possible, good times ahead.

1. Slower loading screens by 10 plus seconds
2. Slower/less snappy OS
3. OS takes longer to boot
4. No 1440p support
5. No freesync support
6. Less powerful gpu by 3tflops
7. Less powerful cpu
8. Spiderman DLC 7/10
9. Doesn't even have a resume feature that allows you to resume up to 6 games
10. 3D audio is "underwhelming" as stated by the GS reviewer
    
    
    WELCOME TO THE NEXT GENERATION
    
    

Good. Hopefully you would stop arguing with me about things I know and dial back on the shilling. With that said, games that are more data loading driven should perform better in loading.

@fedor said:

Oh no! He is wrong... again. 😂

This is odd but also cherry picked games. I could make a list of games where PS5 is faster. Either way, I'll be loading current gen games off an external drive anyways.

Well that certainly is a bit of a surprise. 😅

Anyway that sweet, sweet load time on Monster Hunter World: Iceborne has me drooling.
