The breakout hit of the year, Baldur's Gate 3 has arrived on PlayStation 5 and... it's pretty great actually! In the Digital Foundry tech review, we stack up the PS5 against the PC version, finding that the console version is effectively running at PC's ultra settings. We look into frame-rates in the quality and performance modes and - yes - we see how the CPU-heavy Act 3 plays out on PS5 in both single and split-screen modes.

Have to say that, although not surprised due to the PC version, having a PS5 game running at 20 frames per second in “performance” mode is borderline shocking. I’m sure that Larian spent a significant amount of time optimising that area, but if they couldn’t optimise it further, they should have either reduced their ambition, or altered the design to match the hardware (segmenting the city for example)
