Red dead 2 on ps5 is too blurry...

[Gustavo Dutra]

Is it just me or something feels off on the console version for this game ? Sure its not a remake for the ps5. But it looks quite blurry here.

Would it be because im on a 4k tv instead of a full hd ? Since the game only outputs full hd res on sony consoles...

On the PS5, using back compatible mode, it will be using the PS4 Pro version. The PS4 Pro/PS5 game will render at a "checkerboard" 1920x2160. It's native 4k on Xbox One X/Series X. 

The game hasn't received a "next gen" update so that's just the state of the game at the moment. 

This article has extra info on the checkerboarding technique as well as a comparison between it on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

It's worth noting that RDR2's temporal AA technique is also to blame for the poor visual presentation.

I played it all the way through on my PS5+4k TV and it looked fantastic.
