Assassin's Creed Unity's 4K 60fps upgrade isn't really 4K, but it's still the best way to play the game. This is a remarkable and unique series entry, so we really went to town on this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbbT...

Catching up with some unfinished business - a detailed look at the current-gen upgrade for Kingdom Come Deliverance. Necessary compromises on Series S, but a solid performance upgrade and the best of the PC experience on PS5 and Series X: youtu.be/Hjl6L_rr780

A first look at Crimson Desert on base PS5. Image quality comparisons, plus PC equivalent settings for all modes across base and Pro consoles. The standard PS5 holds up overall - but we can't recommend performance mode: www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/03...

More coverage of the upgraded PSSR on PlayStation 5 Pro. Alan Wake 2 proved highly challenging for the original PSSR, particularly at its native 864p in performance mode. The patched version is another huge improvement: youtu.be/8bhre7EPC5A

Today on DF, after a poor Nintendo Direct debut, the great news is that Fallout Anniversary Edition on Switch 2 is impressive - with 30fps, 40fps and target 60fps options. Here's how it looks, along with the requisite console comparisons: youtu.be/XQuHQkHrCbM

Various patches improved Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PC - but jarring camera/animation errors were never addressed - until now. It looks like a disabled console optimisation is a bit of a game-changer: youtu.be/QpF25_fGLB4

Avowed comes to PlayStation 5 - and it's decent port with only very minor differences vs the Xbox Series X original. However, PS5 Pro is under-served with lacklustre improvements: youtu.be/JBbYfId1mAI

Nioh 3 PC performance is tested in today's video. It's heavy on GPU resources, but runs smoothly and has a decent array of settings. However, there are bizarre issues running this if you can't lock to specific frame-rates - and that needs addressing: youtu.be/xXxUv4ejCxY

Nioh 3 is great fun on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, but there's still the sense that the Katana Engine has lost its edge: youtu.be/AjVw6wnF6Cg

A summary of our DLSS Preset L results, plus the remarkable discovery that disabling a game's denoiser and letting DLSS take over denoising duties effectively solves DLSS 4.5's issues with RT effects: www.digitalfoundry.net/features/dls...

Digital Foundry @digitalfoundry.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Targeting 9x resolution upscaling, DLSS 4.5 Preset L is Nvidia's most advanced transformer model - so how much does it cost computationally, what are the quality wins vs other models and how does 720p to 4K and 480p (!) to 1440p look? youtu.be/Lv8tJoiApd8

Turns out Alan Wake 2 on Series S got a resolution upgrade to 847p since we first tested. Re-running the test, Panther Lake still manages to inch ahead: www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/02...
