Hey, Rich here. Following on from the post earlier in the week where we couldn't really share much of anything, well, obviously we've all been doing a lot of work on Forza Horizon 5. John's video is spectacular, Alex's PC video is in production and looking good (look out for those Series X quality/performance mode equivalent settings - direct from Playground) while as I write this, my gigantic cross-platform comparison is encoding. Hopefully it'll go up today.

In the meantime, enjoy some early access - with more to follow hopefully tomorrow! In this case, Tom's been taking a look at how the last-gen version of Guardians of the Galaxy shapes up against current-gen. Bearing in mind that it's a demanding game, can the last-gen consoles stand a chance of delivering a good experience? The results are intriguing and occasionally surprising!

Guardians of the Galaxy: PS4/Pro vs Xbox One/X Tested - Can Last-Gen Consoles Keep Up?

Everything you need to know about the state of last-gen consoles running Guardians of the Galaxy. The base machines struggle with low resolutions and sub-30fps frame-rates - though PS4 surprisingly comes out the worst in playability. Meanwhile Xbox One X runs nicely as a 30fps experience, and - shockingly - boasts an even higher resolution than Series S. Tom gives the details in full.
