LEGO Horizon Adventures: which platform plays it best?
What changes between PC, PS5, Switch: resolution, FPS per mode, what each official store publishes and the FPS we measured on PC.
Quick verdict
PS5 is the console benchmark with 4K at 60fps, and Switch holds up better than you would expect.
PS5 gets two modes worth having
Quality mode runs at a common 2160p and 30fps, while performance holds 60fps at dynamic 2160p by cutting shadows, ambient occlusion and reflections. There are no PS5 Pro enhancements, so the console ceiling is the same with or without a Pro.
Switch, a sensible port
Docked it settles at a common 900p and 30fps, and handheld drops to 648p while also lowering shadow resolution. The cuts show mostly in lighting and level of detail, but the analysis calls it the best-looking LEGO game made so far.
And on PC
On PC nothing is capped. On the Epic preset we measured 33 GPUs: an RTX 4090 sits between 111 and 120 FPS, an RX 7900 XTX between 91 and 96, and an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER between 79 and 84.
LEGO Horizon Adventures has no PS5 Pro enhancements: the image is the same as on PS5.

Frequently asked questions about LEGO Horizon Adventures

Which mode should I pick on PS5?
It depends on whether you want image or smoothness. Quality gives a common 2160p at 30fps; performance holds 60fps at dynamic 2160p, but cuts shadows, ambient occlusion and reflections.
Is the Switch version worth it?
Yes, if playing handheld matters to you. It runs at a common 900p and 30fps docked and 648p in handheld, with clear cuts to lighting and level of detail, but the analysis rates it as the best-looking LEGO game made so far.
Does it take advantage of PS5 Pro?
No. The game received no PS5 Pro enhancements, so the console changes nothing over PS5 and it was left out of the comparison entirely.

We measured 33 cards on the Epic preset. An RTX 4090 delivers 111-120 FPS, an RX 7900 XTX 91-96 and an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 79-84. It does not demand what a large open world does.
