Forspoken's PC port includes additional features over the PS5 version, but you should stick with the console release if you want a smooth experience.

I caught some flak for saying current-gen consoles couldn’t maintain their performance going into the next era of video games, but there’s still an unsung advantage of a console over a PC. Square Enix’s Forspoken brings the advantage the PS5 has over PC center stage.

In particular, the Ray Tracing mode has some significant artifacts as it tries to reconstruct a 4K image. This is by far the weakest mode, not only because of the aggressive upscaling, but also because of the minimal visual impact of ray tracing in Forspoken . The PC version looks worse at first glance. The PS5 version looks like it prioritizes textures closer to the camera and uses an enhanced version of those textures. You can see the massive difference in the quality of the stone above, with the PC version looking far less detailed.

Another big area where the PC and PS5 releases differ is ray tracing. The PS5 supports ray-traced shadows, while the PC version supports shadows and global illumination. Unfortunately, neither does much. There isn’t much of a performance hit, and I struggled to see any difference in image quality. The result is that Forspoken never feels smooth on PC. Even with FSR 2 available, the game never feels consistent. You can improve your frame rate, and the overall performance isn’t bad for lower-end hardware. But even with a tricked-out rig, Forspoken’s average frame rate only tells a fraction of the performance story.
