Necromunda: Hired Gun is built for PC, and on console the pick is Xbox Series X.
PC is the only version rendering at a real 4K with everything maxed, and it has a clear edge in ambient occlusion and in some shadows. On an RTX 3080 the average is 63 FPS without upscaling, 90 with DLSS on quality and 110 with DLSS on performance. The analysis itself calls it a game designed for PC.
PS5 and Series X output 4K but render at the equivalent of 1800p, and both run at 60 FPS with occasional drops when loading assets and areas. Series X loads slightly faster, which is what gives it the best console version.
Series S drops the render scale to the equivalent of 1440p and, more importantly, averages around 40 FPS. It is the one version where the analysis openly asks for optimisation work.
Gamepad controls were unpolished on every platform, PC included: the studio acknowledged it.
The best live offer for each version, every price with its format.
Resolution, modes and FPS come from the video analyses above. The rest is published by each platform's official store and by the game's technical sheet on PC. Where nobody publishes the figure we put a dash, not a guess.

Xbox is the Series X column unless Series S is stated. Resolution, modes, FPS, VRR and download size come from the videos; HDR, ray tracing and PC features from the technical sheet and the official Xbox catalogue.
PC. It is the only version rendering at a real 4K with every setting maxed, and it has a clear edge over the consoles in ambient occlusion and in some shadows.
All three output 4K, but at a lower render scale: the equivalent of 1800p on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and 1440p on Xbox Series S.
On PS5 and Xbox Series X yes, with occasional drops mainly when loading assets and areas. Xbox Series S averages around 40 FPS.
The analysis tested an RTX 3080 at 4K with everything maxed: 63 FPS on average without upscaling, 90 with DLSS on quality and 110 with DLSS on performance.
That is the weak spot. The studio confirmed it needed to optimise gamepad controls on console and PC, and the analysis notes the gunplay suffers without mouse and keyboard.
