Planetary terrain will feature thicker grass, flowers, fungi, and rocks, with higher resolution textures and more detailed 3D models. Within the Xbox family, this will be available only on Xbox Series X and not on Series S.

base construction will allow larger and more complex builds, and your current saves will be available on next-gen.

Multiplayer will be upgraded to up to 32 players per session and cross-play will be supported across all platforms.

PS5 and Xbox Series X will support 4K and 60 FPS, while Xbox Series S will have to choose between frame rate or resolution.

PlayStation 5 users will be able to enjoy DualSense support and the new 3D audio technology will also be implemented.

If you play on PlayStation VR, you can still do so on PS5 thanks to the console’s backward compatibility.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
