Comparison of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC; Which platform is better?

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, the new third-person shooter title from Saber Interactive, is now available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. If you still haven't decided on which platform to play the game, this article will help you.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has 2 graphics modes “Quality” and “Performance” on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. As expected, the quality mode offers higher graphical detail, making noticeable changes in the quality of shadows, textures, cloth physics, water, and reflections. The Xbox Series S version, meanwhile, offers only one graphics mode, which visually includes the same graphical reductions as the PS5 and Xbox Series X in Performance mode, particularly in terms of vegetation and ambient shadows.

On personal computers, if you have access to a capable system, you can experience Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 without any graphical defects and the visual quality is much better than the console versions.

In terms of image quality, the PS5 and Xbox Series X both run Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at 1440p in quality mode and 1080p in performance mode. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S will only be able to play games at 1080p resolution. On the other hand, it is possible to experience the game in 4K (2160p) quality on PC.

Regarding the technical performance of these platforms, the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions can run Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at a rate of 30 frames per second in quality mode and 60 frames in performance mode. The frame rate during intense game scenes is unstable in performance mode on both consoles. Of course, the Xbox Series X console performs slightly better than the PS5 with less frame drops in these moments. On the other hand, depending on the power of your PC, the PC version can achieve frame rates beyond 60 frames with high stability. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S version will only be able to offer 30 frames per second.

Overall, the PC version of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can give you the best possible experience, while the best possible console experience is provided by the Xbox Series X.
