Quick verdict

Hell is Us looks best on PC, and among consoles Xbox Series X holds the highest resolution.

Best graphics experience PC free settings, DLSS and multi frame generation on RTX 50
Best console experience Xbox Series X higher average resolution than PS5 with the same two modes
Best for the money Xbox Series X the cheapest keys in the comparison

Why PC wins

PC combines free settings with a solid DLSS implementation and multi frame generation on the RTX 50 series, to the point that Ultra runs above 100 FPS. Of the 30 cards we measured on the Max preset, the RTX 5090 hits 98-108 FPS and the RTX 4080 lands at 69-77, so without upscaling the game asks for real hardware.

On console

Series X and PS5 get the same two modes, and the difference lies in the graphics settings rather than resolution: resolution barely changes how this game looks. Even so, Series X holds a higher average than PS5. PS5 Pro keeps a few quality settings inside performance mode, but with no notable differences.

Two warnings

PSSR in performance mode carries the usual Unreal Engine 5 problems, such as flicker in ambient occlusion, and the analysis recommends switching it off. And Xbox Series S is stuck with a single mode locked at 30 FPS.

On Xbox Series S there is no choice of mode: one only, locked at 30 FPS.
