![]() Again, this is something I hope both Sony and Bungie are working on improving, taking advantage of unique features of the consoles for more than just the performance upgrades.Īnd still, the performance upgrades have been more than enough to leave my satisfied with the improved Destiny 2 experience. The audio via headphones sounds the same as it always has to me, which is technically 3D enough to allow me to have good spatial awareness, but it doesn’t have the “wow” factor that the PS5’s 3D audio capabilities were touted as. It also doesn’t seem to take unique advantage of the PS5’s Tempest 3D audio engine in any special way. Haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support are something I hope Bungie is working on adding, though I’m not holding my breath that it will happen soon. And yet despite this, you can’t use any controller but the DualSense to play it (thanks to it being a PS5 application and Sony’s limitations on that), so if you were used to using back buttons on a premium or custom controller, that capability is gone now, without getting any of the added benefits of the new PS5 controller. There’s no special DualSense support for haptic feedback or the adaptive triggers. What Destiny 2 PS5 doesn’t do is take advantage of the PS5’s unique features. Destiny 2 PS5 Review – No Unique PS5 Features It’s a quality of life upgrade that makes many of the more tedious aspects of Destiny 2’s grind a lot more bearable. What used to be an arduous affair of watching tiny circles spin while items loaded in or waiting for what felt like minutes as your ship flew through space to the next location is now barely long enough to even unlock my phone before I’m loaded in. It’s legitimately staggering how quickly things load in the menu or how fast you can get to destinations now. It’s a small feature, sure, but one that, again, makes Destiny 2 PS5 simply feel like a different game.Īnd finally there are some under-the-hood changes that utilize the power of the PS5 to improve load times, significantly. I’ve settled for a healthy balance somewhere right in the middle, about 90 or 95, but you can go as high as 120 if you want. You can play with these numbers to find the optimal FOV for you, because while pulling it back does let you see more on the sides, it can also make precision aiming more difficult as targets become smaller on your screen. You can now increase your FOV, which makes the game seem faster, and gives you more peripheral awareness. The other significant addition to Destiny 2 on PS5 is a Field of View (FOV) slider, something that, again, PC players have had, but the old consoles couldn’t support. Destiny 2 PS5 Review – Broaden Your Horizons Still, even the jump to 60 fps is a world of difference for PvP play. There’s also a 120 fps option for Crucible (PvP) specifically, but I don’t currently have a TV or setup that wholly supports a 120hz refresh rate, so I haven’t been able to test out the differences there. But having experienced Destiny 2 at a solid 60 fps for a month now, you’d have to pry this performance update from my cold dead fingers to get me to go back. I can accept 30 fps if that’s what’s available. The PS5 is able to handle all of the enemies and visual effects without much trouble at all. Granted, I’m not measuring it specifically with a frame counter, but certain encounters on the PS4 version would tank my frame rate well below 30. Combined with the higher resolution visuals, the world has never felt so bright and alive.īungie loves its visual effects, and those all come through crystal clear on the next-gen version of the game, with nary a frame drop in sight. While 30 fps arguably felt… fine, 60 fps just feels and looks so much better. Those two little tweaks alone make an enormous difference for the console version, just in case you haven’t heard the PC players (and to some extent, Stadia) spouting non-stop about it for years now. The biggest key difference in the upgrade from PS4 to PS5 is a jump from 30 fps to 60 fps and native 4K visuals, and it’s gorgeous. ![]()
