Quick verdict

Among consoles, Wo Long is a hair ahead on PS5, and on all three the sensible pick is the 60fps mode.

Best graphics experience PS5 higher average resolution than Series X in FPS mode
Best console experience PS5 same modes as Series X plus slightly faster loading
Best for the money Xbox Series S the steadiest frame rate of the three, at 1080p and lower settings

PS5 wins narrowly

PS5 and Series X offer the same thing: a resolution mode and an FPS mode, both at 1440p with temporal reconstruction. The gap is in the average resolution of the FPS mode, where PS5 sits around 1332p and Series X around 1296p. Loading times are slightly faster on PS5 too.

Series S trades image for stability

Series S gets a single mode, at 1080p and 60fps, and cuts lighting, shadows, textures, draw distance and part of the post-processing. In exchange, asking less of the hardware, it holds the steadiest frame rate of the three, which counts in an action game like this.

Which mode to pick

The analysis itself recommends FPS mode on PS5 and Series X. The resolution mode does not add enough pixels to pay for the stability it costs.

Every figure here comes from the demo analysis, with the game still in development: the final release may behave differently.

Wo Long on PS5 and Xbox Series: demo comparison

  • The analysis covers the demo, with the game still in development, so the final release may differ.
  • PS5 has a resolution mode at 1440p and 60fps, and an FPS mode at dynamic 1440p that commonly sits at 1332p.
  • Xbox Series X mirrors that split, commonly landing at 1296p in FPS mode, slightly below PS5.
  • Xbox Series S is limited to a single mode at 1080p and 60fps.
  • Every version uses temporal reconstruction rendering.
  • Series S lowers lighting, shadow and texture quality, draw distance and some post-processing effects.
  • Loading times are slightly faster on PS5.
  • Series S holds a considerably steadier frame rate than the other two thanks to its lighter graphical load; on PS5 and Series X he recommends FPS mode.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Wo Long Fallen Dynasty

PS5 or Xbox Series X for Wo Long?

PS5, narrowly. Both get a resolution mode and an FPS mode at 1440p with temporal reconstruction, but in FPS mode the common resolution is 1332p on PS5 against 1296p on Series X. Loading is slightly faster on PS5 as well.

Which graphics mode should I use?

FPS mode on PS5 and Series X, as the analysis recommends. Both consoles target 60fps in either mode, and the resolution mode does not make up for the stability it costs.

How does it run on Xbox Series S?

It has a single mode, at 1080p and 60fps, and cuts lighting, shadows, textures, draw distance and some post-processing effects. Because it asks less of the machine, its frame rate is considerably steadier than PS5's or Series X's.

Are these figures from the finished game?

No. The analysis was made on the demo, with development still ongoing, and the author warns the final quality may differ. It is the only measured data published for this game.

What about the PC and PS4 versions?

There is no published technical analysis with resolutions or frame rates for those versions, so they are not part of this comparison. We would rather leave them out than estimate figures.
