PS5 Game Performance is just awful and unplayable

Hey lets get this post the golden key for optimization!!!! bump bump bump it up!!! happy holidays or whatever you celebrate everyone!!!!!! but coal for GGG for no response...... BOOOOOOOhhhhhh lol
"You can't make everyone happy. You're not an avocado."
I have abandoned the game due to poor performance on PS5. It is objective and a reality. It works bad and has errors that do not exist in the PC version. Text layout errors, incomplete spanish translations (I´m from Spain), buttons that fail and many more errors only in the console version. It does not even have the POE 1 trade market that worked perfectly. Nobody on console accepts the trouble of opening an external browser for this. It is crap.

The game is good but the optimization on consoles is garbage and it must be said so that they take action soon. It is even unacceptable for an EA and even for a demo. Even more so knowing that it is an instanced game and not an open world. I say this for Diablo 4 which on PS5 works perfectly at 60 stable fps throughout the game.

Grinding Gear should take us console players seriously and not as second-class users. On PC they do not have these problems and it asks for a simple GTX 2060 as recommended requirements. It makes no sense how poorly the game runs on PS5.

GGG take action now!! Thanks.

Screen tearing is just straight up making this game unplayable for me.
No matter which graphics option I choose its just bad.
Please fix graphics on PS5 GGG.
100% agree, I am playing on PS5 PRO yes a PS5 PRO, I tired all mode PSSR/FSR/NIS and all scaling %.
They were all terrible. I can not imagine how bad this is on a normal PS5, Act 1 was good since there weren't many enemy on screen often time I see 60 FPS on Ultra Performance mode, even with no scaling. Not the best but I can live with that. in combat most of the time mid 50s.

But upon entering act 2, and act 3 oh boy, with everything to the lowest possible, even at 50% scaling down, the average FPS is in the Mid 30s in combat, 40-50ish at best, the only time you can see 60fps is where nothing on the screen, some corner of the map.

within town is it a slide show, and all the buffs and auras from other player are like jagged, super super super low quality. I rather see an empty town.


Cross play tabs messing up all the time, map disappearing after portal back to town. crash, lags, screen tearing, stutter, now I can't even login.

As of today, I can not log in to poe2 on ps5, as it takes me to the terms of condition page and ask me to create a new account or link account.

I have been playing for almost 70hours, and I can even see my PS5 points when logging in POE website, and it tells me I am not linked.

wow, just wow.

Even I was offered a free key and even I almost only play on PS5, I still purchased a $60 package on PC and $100 package on ps5.

Been playing POE since 2012, so I understand what EA means, POE EA was pretty bad too, but this is 2024 now, you guys are no longer the indie small team of 5 people a decade ago, you have money from Tencent, you have, 30-40 times the mam power, you have decade of experience, you have our full support, the the current state of EA at least for PS5 is not acceptable.




Yea, PS5 Pro, game looks good, but fps are absolutely terrible. Game run poorly.
At this point I have played over 100 hours on PS5 Pro. In lategame the performance is really terrible. For comparison I also bought access on xbox series x and in steam through geforce now. On xbox the performance is even worse. PC version through geforce now works very well, but due to the impossibility to share microtransactions, I will not continue to play through streaming

I hope solving problems with performance is one of the priorities of the GGG team
Can't say anytihng that hasn't been said before.

I'm an infernalist, minion build, it gets really bad past act2, worse than it did before last patch.

I just hit Cruel difficulty yesterday and at first I was happy to be back in act 1, it ran a bit better, but since the mobs are increased in number compared to normal act 1, it quickyl returned to not so great performance. Then I got to act 2 and it was even worse.

I am considering trying out Mercenary, as it's a class I am interested in, but I do want to get to mapping with my minion build. And also, I shouldn't be forced to change to a class just because the game is not optimized.

The game looks and plays great, but doesn't look that great to justify the horrible performance.

I have not noticed any difference besides visuals when fiddling with settings.

I hope the console versions of the game won't be just an afterthougt (again).
I've been playing a lot, like most people, and I actually don't have the same problems. I'm kind of surprised this is happening. Now, it's NOT perfect because of screen tearing and the game pausing constantly, and I am playing at about 30FPS to maximize graphical quality with the default setting. It looks amazing, but I can see it is not as good as PC's look and performance

a couple things that I changed in my PS5's settings (for a totally different game) (htriber iivff) was turning off VRR (variable refresh) and turning off 120hz output in the screen and video options. I play at 2160p, all default settings in the graphical in game menu, and I play on a slim edition PS5

suppose I should mention I play a mercenary with crossbows only. But give turning VRR and 120hz output off a shot.
Other than that, GGG needs to improve the performance if there are this many people complaining. I also hate having the game pause every 10 seconds at certain times of the day. Extra FPS at high graphics is obvious what we all want
Worst whing is that these issues have been highlighted for days now and no one from GGG has officialy acknowledged it yet.

+1, from now on my life is based on coming to this forum to see if they have uploaded any announcement or patch for ps5
