Watch dogs 2 with performance issues on playstation 4 pro

Watch Dogs 2 is out today for the Playstation 4, Playstation 4 Pro and XBOX One game consoles, awaiting its release until November 29 on the Steam platform. The Ubisoft video game completely changes its setting and debuts on the new Sony console, and it does so with some drawbacks.

Watch Dogs 2: PS4 Pro vs PS4

The comparison made by Digital Foundry shows us Watch Dogs 2 running on a normal Playstation 4 and the new Playstation 4 Pro.

The data from the analysis of Watch Dogs 2 is that the game runs at a native resolution of 1800p rescaled using checkboard technology to run at 4k (2160p). This allows you to have a better image sharpness than in normal Playstation 4 but also has other problems.

FPS crashes and screen-tearing in Watch Dogs 2

Based on the review, the Playstation 4 Pro cannot maintain a stable frame rate when running at 4K (rescaled). These drops of frames and screen-tearing , happen in certain areas and situations where the graphic load is greater. Both the Playstation 4 and Playstation 4 Pro run at 30 frames per second in Watch Dogs 2.

Among the advantages that we find in the Playstation 4 Pro, in addition to a higher resolution, we find better antialiasing and more detailed shadows, we did not find major differences than these.

Recall that the game on the new Sony console has two modes of operation (which also applies to other titles), 4K / 30FPS or 1080p / 60FPS. We will see if Ubisoft releases a patch that fixes these performance problems, so far they have not said a word.
