Need for Speed Unbound - Xbox Series X|S / PS5 / PC - Graphics & FPS & Power Comparison

Resolutions: Series S: 1080P-1440P
Series X: 1944P-2160P
PS5: 1728P-2160P
PC: 3840x2160


- NOTE: that the trial version, which you can play up to 10 hours with EA Plus, was used for this video on all versions. I’m unaware if and what the differences might be in versions with the normal release
- All three consoles looked somewhat washed out compared to PC. The defaults are used but could potentially improve looks by adjusting gamma to your likings
- PS5 seem to render just a touch lower than Series X. Series S and Series X were however showing drops. Not mayor but definitely noticeable at times during game play.
- Loading times were all pretty comparable.
- Compared to PC there are many differences, including missing shadows, lower resolution reflections and so on.
- PC version is running at a native 4K resolution with the Ultra preset. The game is pretty demanding with a 55% cpu utility (0-140%) and a 70-80% GPU utilisation with v-sync (60Hz)
- This is probably the highest energy consumption of Series S we’ve seen so far.
