PS5 with performance problems? Developers deny allegations
The trigger for the headlines about the performance problems of the PS5 was the Twitter user "Dusk Golem". He is considered a reliable leaker because he has predicted a lot of information correctly in the past. In his Tweet August 13, it was said that the PS5 difficulties with 4K - Playing third party had and plenty of " Fake - 4K " (upscaled 4K) would be used. However, he did not name specific sources.
This tweet sparked a heated discussion highlighting a few titles that may be affected. One of them is “ Quantum Error ”. A Twitter user claimed that the game would not run smoothly with a 4K resolution of 30 frames per second (FPS) - even though it is only a "corridor shooter" that does not have to represent extensive game worlds.
The Teamkill Media developers came up with the following words: “We're not sure where this quote came from, but it wasn't ours. "Quantum Error" is currently running unoptimized at 4K with 65-70 FPS. We will achieve our goal of 4K and 60 FPS . And it will be much more than just corridors [...]! "
Not sure where this quote comes from but, it didn't come from us.
Quantum Error currently is running at 4K 65-70 FPS unoptimized. We will be hitting our goal of 4K 60 FPS.
And there will be much more than just corridors lol! 🤣

Studio Vice President Nick Penwarden called the console a "system design masterpiece" a while ago. The tech demo of the Unreal Engine 5 recorded on the PS5 made a very positive impression on gamers.
