Microsoft is trying to figure out why PS5 games outperform Xbox Series X games

[Jacob Siegal]

• In early testing, PS5 games look better and run more smoothly than Xbox Series X games.
• Microsoft says that the Xbox Series X is "the world's most powerful console," but many multiplatform games are performing better on the PlayStation 5.
• Microsoft is working with its Xbox development partners to address these discrepancies.

One of the more compelling mysteries heading into this video game console generation concerned the power of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Which console would have the edge? The raw numbers pointed to the Xbox Series X coming out on top -- which explains why Microsoft calls it "the world's most powerful console" -- but the early tests seem to suggest that the PS5 is actually outperforming its next-generation rival.

While the PS5 has a number of exclusive launch titles that debuted alongside the console on November 12th, many of the biggest games of the fall are available on both PS5 and Xbox Series X. The problem for Xbox fans is that most of those games appear to be running better on Sony's console than on Microsoft's.
