Update: Tom broke out all of the FPS data for this one, which you can see here: https://www.digitalfoundry.net/2021-08-17-shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-ps5-vs-xsx-fps-test-patreon
We'll be running this one later in the week, but for our supporters, here's early access to our Shadow of the Tomb Raider content. Interesting to see that PS5 moves from 1872p native to 2160p checkerboard - one of the very few examples we've seen of a PS4 back-compat title changing resolution on PS5 (it's still 1872p on Pro by the way). Also curious is that while the Xbox version is flagged as a Series title, it's almost certainly still running on the XDK, not the next-gen GDK - as indicated by performance that's basically identical to the FPS Boost version. A note on something Tom doesn't mention: the FPS Boost version had a progression bug, which is fixed with this patch.
