Although PlayStation 5 and Xbox Project Scarlett, both next-generation consoles’ launch is still about a year away (we don’t know their exact release dates yet), we keep hearing a thing or two about them.

On ResetEra, Kleegamefan has been revealing a few things about the next-gen consoles in the past few weeks. He revealed that from the game performance perspective, Sony’s console is faring better than Microsoft’s. He added that this happens because the PlayStation 5’s devkit (which we have seen on pictures before as well) and its software are in a better state at the moment than what the Xbox Project Scarlett’s devkit can offer now.

„Right now, game performance is better on PlayStation 5 [than on Xbox Project Scarlett]. I believe that is probably because PS5 development hardware and software are in a more advanced state. I fully expect Scarlett to close that gap once they ship more mature dev kits and software. It must be said, since software, not hardware, is a traditional Microsoft area of expertise, it’s very possible that they could ultimately deliver more advanced DirectX development software, in the end, allowing games to run better on Scarlett even if the hardware is less capable,” the post says.

We have to add that the console’s specifications are effectively set in stone by now, as we’re getting close to their reveals (and several rumours have mentioned that the PlayStation 5’s reveal is going to happen in February), and if the hardware gets modified now, the developers would likely not appreciate that. And multiple games are in development at major publishers, such as Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok, which we discussed yesterday.

Both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Project Scarlett will be available to the public from late 2020, with currently unknown price tags.
