Quick verdict

Ninja Gaiden 4 runs solid on all three platforms: PC leads on settings and PS5 Pro is the best console.

Best graphics experience PC free settings, 4K, 120 fps, ultrawide and adjustable FOV
Best console experience PS5 Pro Pro mode: the quality-mode image at 1440p and 60 fps
Cheapest key Xbox 29.99 € against 67.24 € on PC and 69.99 € on PS5
Best mode if you play on PS5 Performance mode PC medium preset settings at 60 fps with a steady frame rate

Why PC wins

PC is the only version with free settings, and the spec sheet gives it 4K, 120 FPS, HDR, ultrawide and an adjustable field of view. No version has ray tracing. We have no measured graphics cards for this game yet, so we publish no PC frame rates.

On console

On console there are three modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and they map onto very specific PC presets: quality is the high preset at 30 FPS, performance is medium at 60 FPS and the 120 FPS mode is low. PS5 Pro adds a fourth, Pro mode, which serves the quality-mode image at 1440p and 60 FPS. That is the real gap between consoles.

Performance and price

The frame rate holds steady on every platform and in every mode. The analysis is clear about what to pick: performance mode on PS5 and Pro mode on PS5 Pro. On price, the cheapest key is on Xbox at 29.99 €, against 67.24 € on PC and 69.99 € on PS5.

Upscaling on PC is applied modestly: there is no DLSS quality setting in the menu and no frame generation.

  • PS5 and Xbox Series X have three display modes; PS5 Pro adds a Pro mode.
  • Pro mode pairs the visual quality of quality mode with the frame rate of performance mode.
  • Quality mode on PS5 and Series X matches the PC high preset: more level of detail, textures, shadows and post-processing.
  • Performance mode drops to the medium preset equivalent, and 120 FPS mode to low.
  • PS5 Pro at 120 FPS holds a steadier frame rate, but does not raise the resolution.
  • Overall performance is solid on every platform, as it usually is with Platinum titles.
  • PC optimisation is good, but DLSS is applied modestly: you cannot change its quality from the menu and there is no frame generation.
