The best version of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the PC one, and on console PS5 leads.
On PC you decide: resolution up to 4K, 120 FPS and four upscalers to pick from, TSR, FSR 4, DLSS 3.7 and XeSS 2, with frame generation from all three vendors. We measured 30 cards on the Epic preset: an RTX 5090 gives 99-111 FPS at 1080p, an RTX 4090 89-99 and an RX 9070 XT 82-92.
On console the gaps are small. PS5, PS5 Pro and Series X share the same two modes, 30 FPS in quality and 60 in performance, with dynamic upscaled resolution in both. All PS5 Pro adds is a higher average resolution.
Series S pays the bill: a single display mode at 30 FPS, running performance-mode settings with weaker global illumination. And on price, the cheapest key is on PC at 19.70 €, against 29.25 € on Xbox and 39.99 € on PS5.
The best live offer for each version, every price with its format.
