Battlegrounds PS5 version is worse than Xbox version

PUBG: Battlefield The Xbox Series X will run at a higher resolution than that PlayStation 5.

On November 13, 2025, PUBG: Battlefield PS4 and Xbox One will lose support, but revamped console versions are coming to current-gen systems on the same day. PUBG Studios hopes that this change will help the game perform to modern standards and free up resources for further optimizations. While they may all sound good, not everyone experiences the same benefits from the transition.

PUBG: Battlegrounds PS5 resolution is lower than Xbox Series X

PUBG Studios' announcement detailed the upcoming current-gen console versions. PUBG: Battlefield The PS5 will reach 60fps at 1440p, compared to 60fps at 2160p on the Xbox Series X. While the Xbox Series X is slightly more powerful than the PS5, thanks to slightly higher CPU clock speeds and more compute units, most gamers won't notice a dramatic difference on the Xbox. Sony fans need a more expensive PS5 Pro to match the Series X's performance PUBGHowever the vanilla PS5 will still outperform the Series S, which can only reach 60fps at 1080p.

The lower resolution isn't the only edge the Xbox has on the new PlayStation PUBG Ports. Current players will be able to keep their earned achievements when moving from Xbox One to Series X or S, but trophies will not transfer between PS4 and PS5. This isn't the first time PlayStation fans have taken part in the issue Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 trophies didn't make it to PS5, and the same thing happened Skyrim: Anniversary Edition Before that. According to PUBG Studios, the transfer will be very technically complex to implement because of all the data involved.

Either way, it's an interesting time for the game as it improves for more modern hardware. It will be interesting to see what new updates and improvements come with the shift to current-gen consoles, therefore PUBG Players should keep their eyes peeled for late 2025 and beyond.
