Exoprimal: which platform plays it best?
What changes between PC, PS5, Xbox, PS4: resolution, FPS per mode, what each official store publishes and the FPS we measured on PC.
Quick verdict
Exoprimal runs best on PC, and among consoles Xbox Series X is the one that holds 60 FPS most reliably.
Why PC wins
PC is the only version with free settings, 4K, up to 120 FPS and FSR 2.1 upscaling. In a co-op action game built around 60 FPS, being able to push past that ceiling is the real difference.
On console
Series X and PS5 share the same target, a dynamic 2160p at 60 FPS, but the average resolution is higher on Series X and its frame rate holds better under stress. PS5 answers with better shadows, reflections and draw distance on some assets, and only dips when certain special abilities fire.
Last generation
PS4 stops at a dynamic 1080p and 30 FPS, PS4 Pro at 1260p and around 40, and neither keeps them steady. Dinosaur animations lose frames once the screen fills with enemies, so last gen is a last resort.
Series S cannot hold 60 FPS during combat, which is exactly where the game needs them.

Exoprimal on PS5 and Xbox Series: graphics comparison
- Series S runs at a dynamic 1440p and 60 FPS; Series X and PS5 at a dynamic 2160p and 60 FPS.
- Resolution is dynamic on all three: Series S ranges between 1260p and 1440p, while Series X and PS5 sit between 1800p and 2160p.
- Average resolution is higher on Series X than on PS5.
- PS5 has better shadows, reflections and draw distance on some assets than Series X and Series S.
- Series S cuts textures, shadows, reflections and draw distance.
- Loading times are slightly faster on Series S.
- Series S cannot hold a stable 60 FPS during combat.
- Series X keeps a steadier frame rate than PS5 in the most demanding moments.
Exoprimal on PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5: graphics comparison
- PS4 runs at a dynamic 1080p and 30 FPS, PS4 Pro at a dynamic 1260p and around 40 FPS, and PS5 at a dynamic 2160p and 60 FPS.
- The common resolution is 900p to 1080p on PS4, 1080p to 1260p on PS4 Pro and 1800p to 2160p on PS5.
- PS4 cuts texturing, lighting, shadows and reflections next to PS4 Pro.
- PS5 improves reflections, shadows and lighting, and adds more geometry, more on-screen assets (terrain especially) and better post-processing.
- On PS4 and PS4 Pro, dinosaur animations lose frames when the screen fills with enemies.
- PS5 holds 60 FPS except with some special abilities, which cause drops of up to 10 FPS.
- PS4 and PS4 Pro never settle into a stable frame rate; on Pro, keeping the PS4 settings and resolution would have got it closer to 60 FPS.
- Loading times on PS5 are three times faster on average.
