    PS5 Beta - 4K Mode

    I have been playing the PS4 Pro version of FFXIV on my PS5 using the 4K setting and the game runs a pretty consistent 50-60FPS. I am in the PS5 beta now and the 4K mode runs around 30FPS with little to no visual upgrade that I can see. Is this expected?

    1. Does the PS5 version support ray tracing?
    2. Is the PS4 Pro version using 4K up-scaling as opposed to native 4K of the PS5 version?

    So far the game looks to be a visual downgrade compared to the the PS4 Pro version using a PS5. If one or both of the above is true then it makes more sense.

    I'm guessing it's not very optimized yet. Hopefully it will be eventually. This was my experience as well with full 4k.

    Following up on this as I have had more time to play. I’ve gone back and forth between the PS4 and PS5 versions and I am noticing that the game may have Ray tracing now. There are reflections on the floors and many areas where there were no reflections previously. For example, go to the Gold Saucer and the ground around the crystal is reflecting on the PS5 version, but not on PS4.

    That is not raytrace... it's SSR (Screen Space Reflection) we have this on Windows / Mac PC since 2015.

    It's just took console this long to catch up the computer hardware level due to cost and development - otherwise it won't be under a $500-600 hardware.
