Best PlayStation version measured PS4 Pro 1080-2160p in resolution mode and a 45 fps average in FPS mode
Best frame rate Xbox One X 50-60 fps in FPS mode, with the odd dip down to 45
Mode to pick for smoothness FPS mode 1080p on both Pro machines, against a locked 30 fps otherwise

What is missing

Start with what is missing: there is no comparison with published data for the PC or the PS5 versions. We know they exist, but we cannot say what resolution or frame rate they run at, so their columns stay empty.

One X versus PS4 Pro

The last generation was measured, and there One X is the faster machine. Its FPS mode swings between 50 and 60 FPS with the odd dip to 45, while PS4 Pro in the same mode averages 45 and never reaches 60. In resolution mode, One X climbs to 1800-2160p against the 1080-2160p of PS4 Pro.

The base consoles

The base consoles run tighter: PS4 moves between 900p and 1080p and Xbox One between 720p and 1080p, both locked at 30 FPS with slight drops that show more on Xbox One.

One X applies higher anti-aliasing: it smooths resolution mode, but costs sharpness in FPS mode.

Frequently asked questions about Marvels Avengers

Which platform does Marvel's Avengers look best on?

Of the versions analysed, Xbox One X: it reaches 1800-2160p in resolution mode and is the only one that gets near 60 FPS in FPS mode. No data has been published for PC or PS5.

Is there a comparison of the PC and PS5 versions?

Not one with numbers. Video analyses of those versions exist, but none publishes resolution or frame rate figures, so we cannot compare them here without making things up.

What graphics modes does it have?

Two on the mid-gen consoles, resolution and FPS. PS4 Pro and Xbox One X get both; PS4 and Xbox One are left with a single mode.

What frame rate does each console hit?

PS4, Xbox One and the resolution modes are locked at 30 FPS with slight drops, more noticeable on Xbox One. In FPS mode, One X swings between 50 and 60 with the odd dip to 45, and PS4 Pro averages 45.

What resolution does each version run at?

Xbox One runs 720p to 1080p, and One X 1800p to 2160p in resolution mode and 1080p in FPS mode. PS4 runs 900p to 1080p, and PS4 Pro 1080p to 2160p in resolution and 1080p in FPS.

PS4 Pro or Xbox One X?

One X. It performs better in FPS mode and pushes resolution higher in resolution mode. In exchange, its higher anti-aliasing costs a little sharpness when you play in FPS mode.

Is it worth playing on a base PS4 or Xbox One?

They run at a locked 30 FPS with slight drops, more marked on Xbox One. Playable, but it is the lowest step of everything analysed.

Which one is cheapest?

The cheapest key is on PS5, at 5.19 € on the PlayStation Store. On PC the key is 34.09 € and on Xbox it jumps to 59.99 €. Watch out for account offers, cheaper because they are not a purchase in your name: on Xbox the account sits at 5.99 €.
