Sniper Elite 5 looks best on PC, and among consoles Xbox Series X wins on resolution.
PC is the only version with 4K, ultrawide, up to 120 FPS, an adjustable field of view and FSR 1.0 upscaling. It is also the heaviest install at 85.86 GB. No platform gets ray tracing.
PS5 and Series X share the same target: a dynamic resolution up to 2160p at 60 FPS. In practice Series X sits around 2088p and PS5 around 2016p, and in several measured scenes Series X renders higher, though they match in others. PS5 keeps one trick of its own: silhouette tessellation that does not appear on Xbox.
PS4 stops at 1080p and 30 FPS, PS4 Pro at 1440p and 30, Xbox One at 900p and 30, and Xbox One X reaches 2160p but also at 30. If you want 60 FPS, last gen is not an option.
Cutscenes are letterboxed on console, so effective resolution drops there on every version.
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.

PC, the only one with 4K, ultrawide, an adjustable field of view and up to 120 FPS. Among consoles, the best image is Xbox Series X.
Both use a dynamic resolution up to 2160p at 60 FPS, but Series X sits around 2088p and PS5 around 2016p, and in several measured scenes Series X renders higher. In exchange, PS5 uses silhouette tessellation that does not appear on Xbox.
On PS5, Series X and Series S, yes. On PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox One X it stays at 30 FPS, even when One X reaches 2160p.
With a dynamic resolution between 2560x1440 and 1536x864, commonly around 972p, at 60 FPS. Reaching 1440p is very rare.
No. PCGamingWiki lists it as unsupported on PC, and none of the console comparisons mention ray tracing.
