PS5 Version inferior to PS4 Pro?

I'll start by stating that the updated UI looks amazing, not just on PS5 but on PC as well.

That being said, I was playing the PS4 (Pro) version on my PS5 which runs at 4k/60FPS and noticed that after the update, that is no longer an option. It now runs at 40/30FPS when the 4k option is chosen. While it is a native 4k rather than the up-scaling the Pro had; I don't think it warrants the drop in FPS. Specially since the game is old af and the PS5 is capable of 4k/120FPS... so I'm just confused as to why the huge drop in FPS had to occur when the visuals are not significantly better.

Also, load times are not much better than the PS4 version (on PS5) either. :/

Isn't it because they upgraded the textures and a lot of other graphical things? I went with the "Full HD option" and it works at steady 60 fps, except big hub areas. That said, my laptop definitely could load more people.

The old version was 1440P/60fps not 4k/60fps. The version that is the same as the old Pro is WQHD (but is not running as pefect as before for some reason)

Also this is the beta. I'm idling to bet there are some issues that will be ironed out and adjusted by the time the beta is over
